Day two. Here I go again!
I’ve done some exercises for my vocabulary today. Not so much, but I trained some words and collocations. I’ve still have been exploring on-line version of Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English. I signed up on trial period which ends in 10 days and I have to decide whether this monolingual dictionary valuable for me or not yet at my current level. I was going to buy a paper version of any handy dictionary and most people was telling me the Longman is the best. Some of them recommended to compare it with Oxford Dictionary for Advanced Learner. So I examine both of them occasionally every time I need to look up an unknown word. I prefer to not distract on several sources but I still haven’t made a right choice. I’m going to take one of them as main dictionary in future.
Also I’ve written a 20 minutes dictation in English. I suppose it’s worthwhile exercise to perfect my listening ability. I did it with help of a special software that able to divide an audio into short pieces and allow to play them consequently by demand.
This text has been written in 25 minutes. I know it’s a huge amount of time but it’s my current pace of writing. I need to get it faster and moreover better. I’ll try next time!
