My electronic dictionary

I lost my electric dictionary on last week. When I went to back home, I found that it weren’t in my bag. I was very shocked. I can’t buy new electronic dictionary, because it is very expensive for me and my electronic dictionary may back. So, I use paper dictionary when I want to look up some words. My father bought me the electronic dictionary. We went to many stores to look for good one. My friend looked for my dictionary with me, but we couldn’t it yet. So, I’m very sad. I hope that my electronic dictionary will find.
