T：It’s Longman Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary. Today，we’ll read a passage on the Oxford English Dictionary. Now according to the title，what do you think will be mentioned in the passage？
S：I think the writer，the time when was it written，why it was written，how it was written，the feature of the dictionary will be mentioned.
T：Now，let’s listen to it to see whether your answer is right.
（after listening）
T：Do you think that your answer is right？
S：I think that it doesn’t mention the feature of the dictionary.
T：Yes. Now let’s read it aloud to answer these questions then.
①Why was it written？
②When did it start to be written？
③Who is the writer？
④How it was written？
S：①To encourage everybody to spell the same.
②The idea was raised in 1857.And 22 years later，it began to be written.
③Three men worked together on the dictionary：Samuel Johnson，Noah Webster，and James Murray.
④It took the three men nearly all of their lives to try to collect words.
T：Good job!Then who first began to work on the dictionary？
S：Murray.
T：Yes. Now let’s read the last paragraph. And then finish the table about notes on James Murray’s life with your partners.
（check together）
Step 4 Consolidation/discussion
T：After reading it，can you say something about Murray？Let’s do a chain reaction. Each student just says one sentence about Murray.
T：Do you think it worth so these people’s spending so much time on？Why？Now discuss with your partner and list some reasons.（discuss for about 3 minutes） Now，it’s show time.
S：We think that it worth their job. If there were no dictionaries，people would have no rule to guide them while using the language，which will lead to a mess in English because different people would use different laws to use it. Then there will be more difficulty in understanding one another. With the dictionary，people have a set rule to judge whether their way of using the language is right.

About the Oxford English Dictionary
The Oxford English Dictionary is the accepted authority on the evolution of the English language over the last millennium. It is an unsurpassed guide to the meaning，history，and pronunciation of over half a million words，both present and past. It traces the usage of words through 2.5 million quotations from a wide range of international English language sources，from classic literature and specialist periodicals to film scripts and cookery books.
The OED covers words from across the English-speaking world，from North America to South Africa，from Australia and New Zealand to the Caribbean. It also offers the best in etymological analysis and in listing of variant spellings，and it shows pronunciation using the International Phonetic Alphabet.

As the OED is a historical dictionary，its entry structure is very different from that of a dictionary of current English，in which only present-day senses are covered，and in which the most common meanings or senses are described first. For each word in the OED，the various groupings of senses are dealt with in chronological order according to the quotation evidence，i.e.the senses with the earliest quotations appear first，and the senses which have developed more recently appear further down the entry. In a complex entry with many strands，the development over time can be seen in a structure with several “branches”.
The Second Edition of the OED is currently available as a 20-volume print edition，on CD-ROM，and now also online. Updated quarterly with at least 1000 new and revised entries，OED Online offers unparalleled access to the greatest continuing work of scholarship that this century has produced’ （Newsweek）.To find out more about the OED Online，why not follow our free tour？
“About the Oxford English Dictionary” invites you to explore the intriguing background and distinctive character of the OED. Here，you will find in-depth articles about the history of the OED，an inside look at the programmes used to enlarge and update the OED entries，little-known facts about its content，and much more.
