I like Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary the best because it not only have a great quantity of vocabulary but also is easy to use. We can find detailed 
information about a word, like definition, example sentence etc. In addition, it have 
function which is better than other dictionaries: to add words to "My Wordlists". 
With this feature, we can list the words that we are still unfamiliar with and, moreover, 
We can test ourselves. To sum up, Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary is an 
awesome tool not just for looking words but for learning.

#1 Hello

HI, I’m Jessie Wang. Nice to see you. I studied in the department of Apply Foreign Language. My major is English and Spain is my minor. I started to learn English since I was little and I've got the TOEIC certification of 700 grades. I believe that English is an essential skill in this globalized generation because of the wide-spread Internet and convenient transportation. In addition, I like drawing and playing electronic guitar in my spare time. I attended the hot music club in school and formed a band with my friends. It' a precious experience for that I learnt not only instrument but also interpersonal relationships. If you have similar hobby, welcome to chat with me.
