After testing the online dictionaries this time introduced, I choose the Combridge Dictionary as my best choice. I think the form of dictionary is important. It can not be to complex. Instead, it has to be clear and easy to understand. After reading the article this time talked, I think, in the future, I will try using monolingual dictionaries to help me understand the unfamiliar words.

After testing the online dictionaries this time introduced (After evaluating the online dictionaries I learned this week), I choose the Combridge Dictionary as my best choice (I personally prefer the Cambridge Dictionary). I think the form of dictionary is important (I think the interface of the dictionary and the way it presents the information is important). It can not be to complex. Instead, it has to be clear and easy to understand. After reading the article this time talked (After reading the article written by Dr. Hsi), I think, in the future, I will try using monolingual dictionaries to help me understand the unfamiliar words.
