想寫一篇漂亮的英文，除了內容組織外，主要有賴字詞的適當運用和文法的準確，而一本高級英文字典就能即時提供這兩方面的幫助。我們從英文字典可以研習下列與寫作技巧有關的各種語法。
例一：查考Parts of Speech英文詞部
I like reading.(like喜歡)(verb動詞)
Jimmy and his brother are very like.(like相像的)(adjective形容詞)
Peter was like a son to me.(like似)(preposition介系詞)
I listen to jazz, rock and the like.(like同類)(noun名詞)
He has many likes to keep himself occupied.(likes喜好)(noun名詞)
例二：查考Prepositions介系詞
This book will provide you with much information.
The hostel can provide accommodation for many students.
Health insurance can provide against sudden loss of income.
例三：查考某些難學的Auxiliary Verbs助動詞如dare
He dare not touch that vase.(dare用作助動詞)
I dare you to tell your mother.(dare用作普通動詞)
Nobody dares to criticize him.(dare用作普通動詞)
例四：查考Phrasal Verbs片語式動詞
turn something down拒絕/turn something on開/turn something off關/turn out到場/turn against somebody成仇/turn to somebody向(人)求助/turn up出現
我建議學校應教導學生使用英文字典，並最好於中一上學期開始，利用約5堂的英文堂時間，教懂學生怎樣使用英文字典，以提高個人的英語能力。 ■香港英語促進學會名譽會長 利國傑
