When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was __36___to see that it was an English English dictionary, also known as a monolingual dictionary._37___it was a dictionary intended for non—native learners, none of my classmates had one __38__, to be honest, I found it extremely __39_ to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and _40__ not fully understand the meaning. I was used to the __41__ bilingual dictionaries, in which the words are _42__ both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt __43_ to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I _44__ that monolingual dictionaries are __45_ in learning a foreign language

     As I found out, there is __46_ often no perfect equivalence(对应)between two _47___ in two language. My aunt even goes so far as to 48___ that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the __49___ meaning of a word in English! ___50_ , she insisted that I read the definition(定义) of a world in a monolingual dictionary __51___ I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. ____52__, I have come to see what she meant. 

Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n)   53    number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am    54    exposed to（接触）the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas.   55   this, I can express myself more easily in English.
