Christina loved reading books and writing stories in English, but sometimes she found words she didn’t understand. One day, while reading a book about space, she came across a strange word: \"orbit.\"\n\nShe ran to her grandfather and asked, “Grandpa, what does *orbit* mean?”\n\nHer grandfather smiled and handed her a thick book with tiny letters. “This,” he said, “is a dictionary. It’s like a treasure chest. If you learn how to use it, you’ll discover the meaning of any word!”\n\nChristina was excited but confused. “How do I use it?” she asked.\n\nGrandpa said, “Let me teach you in three easy steps.”\n\n---\n\n###  Step 1: Know the Alphabet\n\n“First,” Grandpa said, “the dictionary is arranged in *A* to *Z* order. So words starting with *A* come first, then *B*, then *C*, and so on.”\n\nChristina nodded. “Like how we arrange names in the register!”\n\n---\n\n### Step 2: Search for the Word\n\n“Let’s look for *orbit*,” said Grandpa. Christina opened the dictionary and flipped the pages quickly.\n\n“Wait!” said Grandpa, laughing. “Don’t rush. First find the *O* section. Then look at the second letter — *R*. Then *B*, *I*, and so on. Keep checking each page until you find the word in the right order.”\n\nChristina carefully searched… and finally found it!\n\n---\n\n### Step 3: What can we find in a dictionary?\n\nEach word entry usually shows: The word itself\n\nExample: elephant\n\n- How to say it (pronunciation)\n\n     → example: \u002Fˈɛlɪfənt\u002F\n\n- The part of speech\n\n    → Is it a noun, verb, adjective, etc.? elephant is a noun\n\n- The meaning \n\n    → elephant: a very large animal with big ears and a trunk\n\n- An example sentence \n\n    → The elephant walked to the river to drink water.\n\nSome dictionaries also show:\n\n- the plural form (e.g. elephants)\n- if the word is formal or informal\n- different meanings if a word has more than one\n\n---\n\n### Step 4: Read and Understand\n\nUnder the word *orbit*, it said:\n*orbit (noun)* – the path one object takes around another, like the Earth orbits the sun.\n\n“Now I understand!” Christina shouted. “Orbit is like a circle path in space!”\n\nGrandpa smiled. “Exactly! You’ve found the treasure — the meaning of the word!”\n\n---\n\nFrom that day on, Christina used the dictionary every time she found a new word. She even helped her classmates learn how to use it too. She called it her Word Treasure Book, and soon, the whole class had their own adventures with words!\n\n---\n\n**Moral of the Story**:\nA dictionary helps you find the meaning of new words by looking them up alphabetically, then reading their definitions carefully.\n\n**Tips for using a dictionary:**\n\n➡️ Always check the alphabet order\n➡️ Read the example sentence to understand how the word is used\n➡️ Look for similar or opposite words\n➡️ Try using the new word in your own sentence\n",{"type":153,"title":164,"content":165},"Activity 1a: Choose the correct answer",[166,180,191,202],{"type":167,"quizType":167,"question":168,"choices":169},"singleChoice","Why did Christina ask her grandfather for help?",[170,173,176,178],{"isCorrect":171,"label":172},true,"She found a word she didn’t understand.",{"isCorrect":174,"label":175},false,"She wanted a new book to read.",{"label":177,"isCorrect":174},"She was bored and wanted to talk.",{"label":179,"isCorrect":174},"She didn’t know how to write a story.",{"type":167,"quizType":167,"question":181,"choices":182},"What is the first step in using a dictionary?",[183,185,187,189],{"isCorrect":171,"label":184},"Knowing the alphabet order.",{"isCorrect":174,"label":186},"Reading every page carefully.",{"label":188,"isCorrect":174},"Looking at the picture next to the word.",{"label":190,"isCorrect":174},"Learning how to spell long words.",{"type":167,"quizType":167,"question":192,"choices":193},"What information does the dictionary usually show about a word?",[194,196,198,200],{"isCorrect":171,"label":195},"The word, how to say it, what kind of word it is, its meaning, and an example sentence.",{"isCorrect":174,"label":197},"The word, its meaning, and who discovered it first.",{"label":199,"isCorrect":174},"How to spell the word, its meaning, and how often it appears.",{"label":201,"isCorrect":174},"The word and its meaning only.",{"type":167,"quizType":167,"question":203,"choices":204},"Why is it important to check the example sentence in a dictionary?",[205,207,209,211],{"isCorrect":171,"label":206},"It shows how the word is used correctly in a sentence.",{"isCorrect":174,"label":208},"It helps you find the longest word.",{"label":210,"isCorrect":174},"It tells you what the word sounds like.",{"label":212,"isCorrect":174},"It shows how to write the word correctly.",{"type":153,"title":214,"content":215},"Activity 2: Look at the picture and answer the questions",[216,218,227,235,243],{"type":157,"url":217,"alt":159},"\u002Fcourses\u002F1\u002Flessons\u002F6\u002FyeoIDtxQ.png",{"type":219,"quizType":219,"question":220,"validAnswers":221},"openAnswer","How many children do you see?
