高分范文3

With the development of the electronics industry，there's an increasing popularity of electronic dictionaries among students．Nevertheless，I believe the trend has potential danger and paper dictionaries shouldn't lose their place in our studies．

First and foremost，electronic dictionaries don't provide as comprehensive usage of a word as paper ones and even have mistakes．A typical paper dictionary includes idioms，phrasal verbs，derivatives，highlighted collocation and difference between similar words．Electronic ones' failure to meet students' desire for insights into words is the most significant defect．

Furthermore，the role of electronic dictionaries in memorizing new words is far from satisfactory．Most students only pay attention to Chinese meanings for the sake of convenience while on the contrary，the process of consulting paper dictionaries forces students to look through all the usages．Research findings have revealed that students with an electronic dictionary have a poor command of what they have learned，scoring 36 on a vocabulary test，in comparison with 79 for students with a paper one．

Last but not least，too much dependence on electronic dictionaries may hinder the development of independent thinking．It only takes 1 minute or so to look up a new word but students are deprived of the experience of “finding problems，looking them up，comprehension，memorizing and putting theory into practice”．It's a pity that they lose the golden chance．

To put it in a nutshell，paper dictionaries are more effective in learning．If time permits，I appeal to all to be clear of electronic dictionaries．
