Last but by no means the least, electronic dictionaries are becoming cheaper an
33、d cheaper, and more and more students can afford them.However, the negative effects are also obvious. To begin with, some students rely too much on the electronic dictionarythey never put their heart into learning new words and expressions. In the second place, some explanations are neither complete

Without stress, you may slack off and idle away your time. It gives purpose and meaning to an otherwise meaningless, dull
