Mr. Iranmehr: No, in fact dictionaries have different types, levels,
and sizes.
Majid: What type do you suggest?
Mr. Iranmehr: I suppose a monolingual dictionary is more suitable
for you, because you can find word information in
English.
Majid: And what about levels?
Mr. Iranmehr: Well, there are usually three levels: elementary,
intermediate and advanced. For you as a high school
student, an elementary one is OK.
Majid: Do I need a small size one?
Mr. Iranmehr: Yes, a pocket dictionary. You can carry it wherever you
go.
Majid: Oh, it’s very good. And hmm…, is it expensive?
Mr. Iranmehr: No, such dictionaries are not expensive. By the way,
you can use a free online dictionary, too. And also
there are some free dictionaries for PCs and apps for
smart phones.
Majid: Thanks, that’s a good idea, but I’d like to use a pocket
dictionary!
