Hello everyone,

English is not my first language and I often encounter difficulties
particularly in collocations.
Selecting a befitting collocation word is troublesome a bit.
Can anyone here tell me any reference book for collocation?
Thank you.

Well there is _The Oxford Collocation Dictionary For Students Of English_
and Cambridge University Press's _English Collocations In Use_. I
haven't read either of them so cannot vouch for their quality.
