Adding examples of how dictionaries aid in understanding beyond just word meanings would further enhance the response.

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The phrase "sensible meaning" could be replaced with a more precise term like "precise meaning" or "definition." Aim for more sophisticated vocabulary choices to demonstrate a wider range.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors, such as subject-verb agreement ("dictionary are used") and incorrect preposition usage ("look after the dictionary"). Work on improving accuracy and using a wider range of grammatical structures. Consider using more complex sentence structures to showcase your grammatical abilities.
