Post-6: Google-Translate_for_Writing (Optional)

Dear All,

I know that one of the tools you use on a regular basis while studying is GoogleTranslate, so I think you might be interested in reading about different aspects of it to get a better idea about its advantages and limitations. Thus, here is a link to a Master's Thesis written on this topic by Timothy R. Giannetti  "Google Translate as a Resource for Writing: A Study of Error Production in Seventh Grade Spanish. You can access it at https://fisherpub.sjfc.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1358&context=education_ETD_masters (accessed: 25.03.2019) It is close to a hundred pages, so I do not expect you to read it all, but I think it can be useful for you to look through it to avoid the problems in expressing yourselves in English better.

So, a couple of you said they will do this task for sur4e, while the others are not sure yet. I am hoping then that maybe some more people will choose to look through it or those who will have read it, will share what they have learned with others.

Because of this, I learned how to structure information and express my thoughts correctly in writing. As for the topics themselves, I really liked the themes that we discussed. They are ver...

A for-and-against essay. Torgalo Eliaveta

                                                Are ebooks so popular and good nowadays?                                                             With the development of digital technology, many physical elements, such as pen and paper, are gradually being replaced by computers and smartphones. But is it really good? Since the creation of "electronic readers" more and more people are turning to the technological side of reading.    One major advantage of e-books is portability. With the recent development of e-book readers, you can take an endless amount of books with you on vacation or on the go. Another great advantage of e-books is that they are chea...
