This dictionary tells you about English words and how to use them in reading, writing and speaking English．It not only gives the meaning of words, it can also help you with spelling, word building, grammar and pronunciation．
To use your dictionary correctly, you need to understand how the dictionary works．At the front of the book, you will find some exercises to help you make the most use of your dictionary．
If you look up the word “colour”, you will find two spellings for this word．“Colour” is used in British English, while “color” is used in American English．When such a thing happens, the dictionary shows it with the word “BrE” for British English and “AmE” for American English．
The dictionary also helps you pronounce words correctly．It uses a special alphabet(特殊字母表)to show pronunciation．If you turn to the inside back face, you will see all the phonetic letters(音標)with some words to show you how they are pronounced．Just have a look this page when you’re not sure how to say a word．
The most important reason for using a dictionary is to find out the meaning of a word－its DEFINITION．
In this dictionary, the definitions have been written using only 2000 words．This means that the definitions of even the most difficult words are simply explained(簡單解釋)and easy to understand．
When a word has more than one meaning, read all the meanings until you find the one that correctly tells the use of the word you are looking for．
Most of the words in this dictionary can be used by people in all parts of the world．
