All versions of language dictionaries emphasize the selection range and quantity of words. Depending on the dictionary's function and target audience, the word selection range and vocabulary size may vary. How many words should an English-Chinese dictionary include? The author must consider at least two factors: first, the commonly used words in daily life and learning activities, as these are the basic vocabulary for daily communication and directly impact children's communication skills; second, the English reading materials that Chinese students can access, such as fairy tales, character stories, and humorous texts, which should include basic vocabulary. The over 2,000 words selected for this dictionary basically meet these two considerations.
Another feature of this dictionary is its emphasis on the communicative function of language. It includes over 100 situational dialogues, which are very beneficial for training children's oral expression skills. In fact, the ultimate function of language since its inception has been communication. In foreign language teaching, it is important to grasp this tendency from a young age and highlight it.
