3.给出句子There is nothing in the sky but ＿＿ clouds.要求学生从教师提供的四幅关于云彩的图片中找到最匹配的一幅。
结果，学生提供的答案多种多样。这时教师引导学生关注到，此处应用一个恰当的形容词搭配才能使句子意思更明确。教师再引导学生应用卡西欧电子辞典中的“牛津英语搭配词典”，用单词查询功能找出cloud一词的形容词搭配（见图三、四）。针对查询结果中出现的生词，再引导学生使用单词跳查功能找到正确的释义。如:cloud的形容词搭配中出现了fluffy，使用单词跳查功能，在Collins英汉双解中查得:Something that is fluffy is very soft and woolly.因此，fluffy意为“蓬松的;绒毛状的;松软的”（见图五、六）。学生明白了fluffy clouds的含义，从而能根据该搭配选出合适的图片。
4.设计单句练习，让学生借助搭配词典，选出适当的词完成句子。
例:请从cloudless, cosy, sandy, empty中选出适当的词完成句子。
If you are looking for _____ beaches and ______ skies, Sanya is your best choice!（见图七、八、九、十）
5.给学生一段描述性文字，要求其掌握大意后尝试借助搭配词典进行改写，使故事读起来更加引人入胜。
I was alone in the house, reading a ghost story as snow fell outside. The dying fire cast a glow onto the walls of my study. I was absorbed in the story when suddenly I began to feel that someone was watching me. The clock stopped. I felt a wind blowing in through the now open window. After a few seconds, though, the book was knocked to the floor by an unseen hand. “Who’s there?” I cried, shaking with fear. I saw something standing in front of me that made my blood run cold. A white ghost pointed a finger at me. “Come on! Come with me. It is time,” it said.
改写（学生作业）:
I was alone in the house, reading a terrifying ghost story as snow fell heavily outside. The dying fire cast a(an) pale glow onto the walls of my study.
I was absorbed in the story when suddenly I began to feel that someone was watching me covertly. The clock stopped abruptly. I felt a(an) biting wind blowing in through the now open window.
After a few seconds, though, the book was knocked to the floor by an unseen hand. “Who’s there?” I cried, shaking uncontrollably with fear. I saw something standing in front of me that made my blood run cold. A white ghost pointed a skeleton finger at me. “Come on! Come with me. It is time,” it said.
