----- Original Message ----- From: byk - byk@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Passport In reply to David G's mail about Passport, the advantage of using this dictionary is that it is very user friendly, whereas weaker students get lost using the Oxford. AS to copying straight from the text, you have to know what to copy. I think it is a great pity that this dictionary is no longer allowed (to the best of my knowledge, unless something has changed.) Furthermore, this dictionary is a great teaching tool for elementary and Junior High school, getting pupils to learn easily how to us a dictionary. However, parents are unwilling to buy it if they think that they will have to buy another dictionary later.
