第二节：书面表达

近来你班老师经常发现有些同学利用电子词典玩游戏，因此你班班主任准备禁止在班上禁止使用电子词典，只允许使用传统词典，但有不少同学提出反对意见。针对这种情况，英语老师组织了一次英语辩论，讨论了两种词典的优缺点，请你向班主任作一下汇报。

	电子词典赞成方 65%	传统词典赞成方 35%
优点	携带方便、查找快捷、容量大，且有英汉、汉英或英英多种词典	价格便宜、解释全面、页面大而清晰，便于反复阅读以及比较一词多意或辨别相似词语
缺点	解释不够全面；价格高；可用作游戏，因而影响学习	不便携带、查阅费时
建议

Dear class teacher，

In the English class today we held a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of the electronic dictionary and paper dictionary。

More than half of us prefer an electronic dictionary and we think it is easy to carry and convenient to refer to 。it also has a larger word capacity compared to a paper dictionary 。besides ，it give Chinese to English translation，English to Chinese translation ，and English to English explanation 。however ，an electronic dictionary can’t give full explanations and it is very expensive。Worse still ，the games and MP3 in it will affect students’ studies。

On the other hand ，those who prefer the paper dictionary hold the view that it won’t cost us much money but it can offer you full explanations 。because of its wide and clear page ，we can read various meanings of a word or tell the differences of similar words easily。

As a whole ，we suggest that an electronic dictionary shouldn’t be forbidden but measure be taken to prevent some students from playing games with it。
