Sample Post 7 ::: My option: A career-related website
Today I'm going to write about a very useful website I use when translating and also when I teach: www.linguee.es
This is an online dictionary and translator tool and it's interesting how they are able to offer more than 100 million translations made by humans. Most of the times, online translators are not reliable because they offer translations made by machines but this website is different. Here you can find examples of how the word or phrase you're looking for has been translated in bilingual websites like the ones companies, international organizations and universities have.
I visit this website every single day, especially when I'm translating and also to check if the translation I want to use is the most suitable. In an English class, I like to use it show the difference between a bad online translator and really good one, because this totally the opposite to Google translator. I usually support all Google creations like Google Classroom, Google Earth and Google Drive but when it comes to translations, I prefer www.linguee.es
I really like this website because up to this point, I've always found what I'm looking for. Apart from that, as you can find many examples, you can decide what translation to use and you can see where that translation has been used. This website shows you the paragraph where the word or phrase appears so the context helps a lot.
And last but not least, if you want to try this website, the creators recommend to look for phrases instead of single words.

Hello Miss. It is very good to have a good translator, as many translate words half and do not understand very well translations. It is important to use the translators to see possible errors, however you do not have to depend on them, because the important thing is to learn by our own means
