About Using Dictionary

:::My Side of Opinion:::

When I catch a word that I don't know while I am reading, sometimes it is hard for me to be patient for using the dictionary.

However, I don't think it is good idea that we reach for the dictionary as soon as we see an unfamiliar word. If we read the whole sentence carefully, The meaning of the unfamiliar word may become obvious from context or we may conclude that we have comprehended enough not to have to bother with looking it up.

There is always a good chance that clues to a word's meaning may appear later in the paragraph because writers often try to help their readers understand by giving additional explanations, definitions, and clarifications.
