19、Dear class teacher,

  In the English class today we held a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of the electronic dictionary and paper dictionary.

  More than half of us prefer an electronic dictionary and we think it is easy to carry and convenient to refer to. It also has a larger word capacity compared to a paper dictionary. Besides, it gives Chinese to English translation, English to Chinese translation, and English to English explanation. However, an electronic dictionary can’t give full explanations and it is very expensive. Worse still, the games and MP3 in it will affect students’ studies.

  On the other hand, those who prefer the paper dictionary hold the view that it won’t cost us much money but it can offer you full explanations. Because of  its wide and clear page, we can read various meanings of a word or tell the differences of similar words easily.

  As a whole, we suggest that an electronic dictionary shouldn’t be forbidden but measures be taken to prevent some students from playing games with it.
