Most dictionaries will tell you a number of things about a language. There are three
important things. These three things are spelling, pronunciation(发音) and meaning.
First, a dictionary will tell you the spelling of a word. If you are not sure about the
spelling of a word, you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed
in an alphabetical (字母表的) order —— a, b, c and so on. For example, on a dictionary
page the "poor" comes before "poverty" and the word "poverty" comes before the "power".
The words are always given in alphabetical order. The second thing, a dictionary will tell
you the pronunciation. Most dictionaries give phonetic , or sound alphabet. The
phonetic alphabet (音标) shows pronunciation. The third thing, a dictionary will tell you
the meaning of words. You can look up a word and find out what it means. Many words
have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary will tell you all of the word’s
meanings. For example, in English the common word "get" has over 20 different
meanings.

The transition from old fuels to new will be slow, as will the development of new technologies that present feasible alternatives to fossil fuels or help eliminate food and water problems. All current technologies are inadequate, and new ones will probably not be commercially possible by 2025
