I chose the news which topic is "Depression link to processed food" from BBC. While reading this, I felt amazing because I didn't know the connection between the depression and processed food before. Certainly, I was faced with some unkown vocabulary. And I found websites given by the teacher are very useful.
Among all of these, I like the Longman website best. Its simple background but rich content attracted me. I look the word "congenital"up by using these websites. From Longman, I know not only the most basic function of a dictionary, that is, the meaning, but other ways to use this word. For example, "a congenital liar" means someone who is a liar that has been for a very long time and scarcely can be changed.
In Thesaurus, I got many information that is rarely seen in dictionaries,such as the origin of the word. In addition, it provides the related words phrases and many synonyms.
Because of these sites, I can read the news smoothly. Dictionaries are always useful in this international world!
