After doing this assignment, I prefer to use Learner’s Dictionaries. I used to use Yahoo Kimo Online Dictionary. There were many vocabularies, but I didn't know which one I should use. However, Learner’s Dictionaries solve my problems; I can learn from the sentences to know the accuracy of vocabularies. Moreover, there are a few vocabulary boxes in some Learner’s Dictionaries. I can learn more information of vocabularies.
