Whether you are writing a business email or a long research essay, the dictionary can be a powerful tool to assist you in becoming a better writer in English.
You can use the main A-Z of the dictionary to help you:
Choose your words carefully. Many words in English have similar or related meanings, but they are used in different contexts or situations. Look carefully at the example sentences provided in the entries for words you want to use. If you need academic vocabulary, look for the AW symbol.
Combine words naturally and effectively. In English, certain pairs of words go together and sound natural to native speakers (for example, heavy rain) — and others do not (strong rain). Information on which words can be paired with one another can be found in the example sentences in the dictionary entries.
Become more flexible. Rather than repeating the same word or phrase many times in your work, try to find other ways to express your ideas. Look for SYN symbol to find synonyms(同义词) and also study the synonym notes. Look for word families and try using words in the same family that are different parts of speech (e.g. different, adjective and differ, verb).
Edit and check your work. You can use your dictionary to check any problem areas such as spelling, parts of speech, irregular forms, grammar, phrasal verbs, and prepositions.
In the following sections you will find examples of essays and practical types of writing that you can use as models for your own work. You will also find advice on planning, organizing and writing each type of text.

In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eyes proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn’t really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegan said.
However, baking was something that always brought her joy as a child. One day while helping out in the neighborhood, Deegan picked up a handheld mixer and started baking. “My life was just out of control, but baking is such a controlled thing, where if you take the right steps and follow the directions, you’ll get a pretty exact result,” she said.
Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people’s homes, which helped her reconnect with people. “Feeding people is such a universal love language,” she said. However, she was still trying to figure out how to find a career at 27 years old. She had no real work experience and she couldn’t put ‘quit drinking’ ” on her resume.
Deegan’s life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. “People have been walking, running and lining up to get cookies, and it’s just been so magical seeing that,” she said.
When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don’t have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. “You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you’ve got a job,” Deegan told the reporter.
24. What was Deegan mainly struggling with in 2013
A.Emotion management.
B.Interpersonal relationship.
C.Work-life balance.
D.Alcohol addiction.
25. What prepared Deegan for her bakery business
A.Working previously in the baking industry.
B.Seeing people running to get cookies.
C.Wanting desperately to gain total control.
D.Offering baked food out of goodwill.
26. According to paragraph 4 and 5, what is special about Deegan and her business
A.She achieved success through baking.
B.She was ambitious about her business.
C.She has an open-door employment policy.
D.She only hired inexperienced workers.
27. Which of the following best describes Deegan
A.Creative and smart.
B.Persistent and receptive.
C.Honest and optimistic.
D.Kind and easy-going.
When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In fact, the animal that kills the most people is one that you are familiar with: the mosquito (蚊子).
While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case. Male mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits (传播) saliva into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can be minor or as serious as death.
Because a mosquito can bite many people in its life, it can carry deadly diseases from one person to another very easily. More than 700 million people become sick from these diseases every year. At least 2 million of these people will die from these diseases.
In some households, mosquito nets are placed over beds to protect people against being bitten. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the number of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does not always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays. But these sprays may also harm other plants or animals.
Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals, they are far more dangerous to human beings. But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.
28. Why does the passage mention dangerous animals like tigers and sharks
A.To compare different animals.
B.To lead into the topic about mosquitoes.
C.To show how dangerous tigers and sharks are.
D.To show people’s misunderstanding of dangerous animals.
29. What can we learn about mosquitoes
A.Female mosquitoes might transmit diseases to humans.
B.The saliva of female mosquitoes contains deadly diseases.
C.Male mosquitoes and female mosquitoes have the same eating habits.
D.More than 700 million people die from the diseases carried by the mosquitoes.
30. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about
A.Scientists are making efforts to kill mosquitoes.
B.Some useful measures are taken to kill mosquitoes.
C.There is no perfect solution to the mosquito problem.
D.Mosquitoes’ natural enemies could protect human beings.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of solving the mosquito problem
A.Doubtful.
B.Positive.
C.Unclear.
D.Negative.
The recent announcement of cloned red wolf pups has drawn widespread attention. While Colossal Laboratories & Biosciences celebrated the birth of four red wolf clones and described them as a step toward “de-extinction” on its website, specialists have emphasized that genetic technology is not the real answer to saving threatened species.
Red wolves once lived across large areas of the southeastern United States. However, their numbers decreased quickly in the 1970s due to habitat loss, hunting, and inbreeding with coyotes (郊狼). In 1980, the species was declared extinct in the wild. In fact, to save red wolves, a government captive breeding (圈养繁殖) program, starting in 1973, rebuilt their population to more than 120, and later tried to reintroduce them into the wild. Yet when the program was discontinued in the mid-2010s, their numbers dropped sharply to only seven wolves. The program was restarted in 2021, but now only has about 20 wolves.
Colossal’s four red wolf pups were cloned from cells taken from “ghost wolves” — coyotes with large amounts of red wolf ancestry. But scientists doubt that gene modification (修改) is a particularly useful tool for red wolf conservation at present. They currently don’t have a good picture of red wolf genetics. While they estimate that 80 percent of ghost wolf genes are from red wolf ancestors, and not coyotes, they don’t know for sure which genes are which.
According to scientists, there is a greater risk posed by using genetic technology for “de-extinction,” as it may divert attention from essential work like protecting habitats and rebuilding healthy populations of endangered animals. The danger of believing that genetic technology can replace such hard work is now apparent. Red wolves need protected habitats and careful conservation, rather than fresh genes. If we focus on one and not the other, there is a genuine risk that they will die off once again.
32. What does the captive breeding program in paragraph 2 mainly show
A.Cloning helps save endangered species.
B.Captive red wolves struggle in the wild.
C.Human activities threaten red wolves most.
D.Sustained protection is key to species recovery.
33. Why do scientists doubt about cloning red wolves
A.They consider it costs too much.
B.They lack clear genetic knowledge.
C.They don’t think technology is mature.
D.They believe it harms ecological balance.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A.Genetic tech is the final solution.
B.Overusing tech may lead to failure.
C.Habitat protection is less important.
D.Cloning is necessary for red wolves.
35. What’s the best title for the text
A.Gene Editing: A De-extinction Solution
B.Protecting Wolves: Beyond Human Efforts
C.Saving Red Wolves: More Than Technology
D.Cloning: A New Hope for Endangered Species

Change is a natural part of life, but when it comes to friendships, it can sometimes feel worrying. You might wonder why this is happening if nothing has gone wrong, or you may start to feel fear about losing connections that once felt unbreakable. 36 .
While our early friendships help shape our identity, those we form later in life serve different roles, shaping our careers, supporting our responsibilities, and helping us through life’s transitions. 37 . What we once needed from friendships in high school or early adulthood may no longer fit the realities of our personal growth and life direction.
38 . They help us navigate our sense of self and social belonging. Friendships at this stage play a defining role in shaping who we are, or at least who we think we want to be. As life moves forward, the friendships that once felt essential may start to fade. This does not necessarily mean they weren’t meaningful, but it’s because we are growing into different versions of ourselves. For many, the transition from high school to adulthood is a turning point in friendships.
As people mature, so do their responsibilities, interests, and environments. 39 . Losing a friendship, whether from gradually growing distant or experiencing a sudden disconnect, can be emotionally challenging. It’s natural to feel sadness, confusion, or even frustration when someone who once played an important role in your life is no longer present.
Embrace the change and growth. Change is an inevitable part of life, and friendships are no exception. Recognize that friendships evolve doesn’t reduce their past value. 40 . Rather than seeing it as a loss, embrace it as an opportunity to explore your independence, strengthen your self-identity, and form new connections that fit the person you’re becoming.
A.Instead, it reflects personal growth
B.We feel very sad at losing close friends
C.This leads to adjustments in their social circles
D.We expect to have life-long friends in our childhood
E.The truth is, as we grow and change, so do our relationships
F.Research highlights that as we mature, our social priorities shift
G.During our young adulthood, friendships serve as a mirror to our identity

Kenzie walked home from the bus stop. She really missed her best friend Holly, who was at home recovering from surgery and was going to stay home from school for the next two weeks!
“When my mom was in the hospital after my baby brother Nathan was born, people brought her gifts,” thought Kenzie. “I should bring a gift to Holly!” So, Kenzie planned to visit Holly after school next Friday. However, Kenzie was lost in thought. She wanted to give Holly something meaningful and special. But her family was saving money for a new car, and she knew it wasn’t the time to spend a lot of money. Arriving home, Kenzie sank into the sofa. Later, while her mother prepared dinner, Kenzie told her about Holly and the gift thing, adding that she hoped to prepare something meaningful and special. She wondered how she could do that without a lot of money.
“I know you can do it. You’re creative,” encouraged Mom.“You don’t need to spend a lot of money to show your care.” Kenzie nodded thoughtfully, her mind racing to find a possible solution.
The next Monday, Kenzie and her brother Nathan had dentist appointments. They opened their goody bags (小礼品袋) from their considerate dentist on the way home.Inside were the usual toothbrush and toothpaste along with a few other meaningful and special things including super cute photos of their first dental experience, hand-made toys and cards. Nathan said it was fun to find these little surprises. Suddenly, she realized Nathan had just given her an idea for Holly’s gift. She would make little things that would be special and meaningful to Holly. Over the next few days, she thought hard about her plan.

English Literature Reading Class Opens a New World
Our school has offered a weekly English literature reading class to enrich our after-school life and improve our English ability. In class, we read classic English novels, poems and essays under teachers’ guidance. We often discuss story plots and share our feelings in groups.
The class has benefited me a lot. It broadens my horizons and lets me know more about foreign cultures. Besides, my reading skills and vocabulary have been greatly improved. I truly love this meaningful course.
第二节 读后续写
“What surprises should be in my goody bag for Holly ” Kenzie thought to herself. She decided to fill the bag with handmade gifts full of love. First, she drew a set of colorful stickers of their favorite cartoon characters. Then she wrote a long letter, telling Holly how much she missed her and wishing her a quick recovery. She also made several paper stars and small paper flowers to decorate the bag. Every night after finishing her homework, she spent time perfecting these little gifts, hoping they could bring warmth and happiness to her sick friend.
On that Friday, Kenzie visited Holly with her gift. Seeing Kenzie’s arrival, Holly’s face lit up with joy. She carefully opened the goody bag and was deeply touched by the delicate handmade gifts and sincere letter. Holding the letter tightly, Holly said excitedly that it was the most special gift she had ever received. The two girls chatted happily for a long time. Though Holly was still recovering, the warm gifts and sincere friendship made her feel much better. Kenzie realized that true care lies in heart-felt efforts rather than expensive presents.
