I'd apprecate it if you would check this, although I haven't finished writing because I don't have enough time now.

In my free time, I sometimes like to consult a dictionary, hoping that it will give me something interesting. However, it often lulls me to sleep rather than giving me some interesting knowledge.
Speaking of dictionaries, what is the definition of explaining something? According to my dictionary, to explain something is to make it easy or clear to understand. But I think that to explain something abstract is to make it more concrete and to explain something concrete is to make it more abstract (I'm sure you will think what I want to do by such a obvious thing and make fun of me ).
I had spent almost an hour before realizing it. Tomorrow I have an important exam at school, so it is high time I went to sleep. I may be write more about this tomorrow.

That's an interesting thought. I think many people who study languages would agree with you.

Thank you. By the way, which do you like better, a paper dictionary or an electronic one?

I haven't used a paper dictionary in years.

I use an online dictionary everyday while studying Japanese.

Also, when I correct other people's journals, I use the thesaurus on my computer. It helps me find the correct words.

I agree with you. Electronic dictionaries are much more useful than paper ones.
