based on p.4, ex.1 Listen and match what the speakers say with the questions Speaker 1 A dictionary is a special kind of book that contains various information about words. You can learn the meaning of words and where they come from, you can learn how to spell words, how to say them. A dictionary can offer some special information about words and show how they change. There are often examples that explain how to use words. Speaker 2 Many words have an interesting story to tell us. Some of them have been borrowed from foreign languages. Some have changed their meaning greatly since the time they were first used. In dictionaries for children sometimes there are special word boxes that offer short stories in the form of word histories which are printed below the words whose stories they tell. Speaker 3 The words we use when we speak or write are divided into different groups. These groups are called parts of speech. The parts of speech are the noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition, conjunction and interjection. In dictionaries a word's part of speech is usually indicated right after the pronunciation. Speaker 4 Dictionaries can answer many questions about words but for many people the most important thing about them is their definition, that's why it usually comes right after the word itself in dictionaries. Many words have more than one meaning. In this case all of them are listed separately and numbered. The one that is used most often is listed first and is followed by the second most commonly used, and so on. Speaker 5 In many dictionaries after the definition of a word there is a sentence or sentences which show how words operate in speech. These examples make a word's meaning clearer. Whenever you hear or read a new word, you get an idea of what the word means from the way it is used and the words it is used with. Speaker 6 Because there are so many words in a dictionary, they are always arranged according to a system. In most dictionaries they are arranged in an alphabetical order and are printed in bold black letters. They are called "main entries". You will find these words at the left-hand side of each column on a dictionary page.
