Thanks for the Besta model. And you are right, they dont seem to have this model now. Will check around and see which one is more appropriate. Thanks.

As for Chinese dictionary, I use Besta e-dict and also one more printed version. Need to go home to check title.

Sorry I took so long to reply. The printed/hard copy Chinese dict DH and I got for our DD is called "Concise Eng-Chi/Chi-Eng Dictionary", published by Oxford University Press. It’s a softcover book with a bright red waterproof book jacket. It’s not too small or too big and the weight is also acceptable. I think we bought it at a discount at the bookstore near the factory outlet shop at Harbour Front. It cost less than $20.

You might want to consider getting a Thesaurus too. It helps #2 in finding words for his compo writing at P2.
