问题     Most dictionaries will tell you a number of【21】about a language. There are three things in particular that【22】important. These three things are spelling, pronunciation, and meanings.
    The first and most obvious thing is that a dictionary will【23】you the spelling of a word. If you’ re not sure about the spelling of a word, you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in alphabetical order--a, b, c, and so on .For example, on a dictionary page the word "poor" p, o, o, r--comes before "poverty"--p, o, v, e, r, t, y and the word "poverty" comes【24】the word "power’--p, o, w, e, r. The words are always given in alphabetical Order.
    The second thing a dictionary will tell you is【25】. Most dictionaries give the pronunciation of a word in a special kind of alphabet. This special alphabet is called a phonetic, or sound alphabet. The phonetic spelling will tell you generally【26】a word is pronounced. There are a few different phonetic alphabets. Many dictionaries use the International Phonetic Alphabet to show pronunciation.
    The【27】thing a dictionary will tell you is the meanings of words. You can【28】a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary will ex plain all of the word’ s meanings. For example, in English the common word" get" has over 20 different meanings. The meaning, of course,【29】the sentence in which the word’ is used.
    These three things--spelling, pronunciation, and meanings--are some of the important【30】that you learn from dictionaries.
