    We use a dictionary for two main reasons：to find out how to spell a word，and to find out the meaning of a word．

    All the words in a dictionary are in alphabetical order(字母顺序)．This means words that begin with the letter “z” are at the end of the dictionary．

    The second letter of a word is a[so important．For example，the word “act” comes before the word “ant”．This is because the Letter “c” comes before the letter “n” in the alphabet．For the same reason the word “bag” comes before the word “bat”．The letter “g” comes before the letter “t” in the alphobet．

    One of the most famous dictionaries in the world is the Oxford English Dictionary．It gives the meaning and spelling of all the words in English language．Most dictionaries do not have every word．
