Besides the advantages of Google Translate, uses during the learning, the students also realize that there are some problems related to Google Translate’s results.
In terms of Google Translate’s advantages for English learning purposes, it helps many students in translating and doing their tasks very fast. It becomes a famous tool among students who learn Foreign language because it is easy to be accessed. According to Josefsson (2011), most of the students used Google Translate for translation because it is a quick helper. Therefore, the students frequently use Google Translate because it helps them a lot without looking up to the physical dictionaries.
Some problems also reported by translation students. They found that Google Translate cannot translate all words correctly. It happens because Google Translate is just a machine translation service that cannot be as perfect as the native language because it translates too literary. So, the students need to recheck and edit the incorrect results by their own strategies.
In conclusion, Google Translate helps their English learning a lot although it also has some problems. It explains that Google Translate is more advantageous to develop and help student’s learning.

PRACTICE 1 PRACTICE FOR WRITING SKILL

PRACTICE 1 PRACTICE FOR WRITING SKILL Read this following paragraph carefully. 1.       RAILWAY MANIAS In 1830 there were a few dozen miles of railways in all the world – chiefly consisting of the line from Liverpool to Manchester. By 1840 there were over 4,500 miles, by 1850 over 23,500. Most of them were projected in a few bursts of speculative frenzy known as the ‘railway manias’ of 1835–7 and especially in 1844–7; most of them were built in large part with British capital, British iron, machines and know-how. These investment booms appear irrational, because in fact few railways were much more profitable to the investor than other forms of enterprise, most yielded quite modest profits and many none at all: in 1855 the average interest on capital sunk in the British railways was a mere 3.7 per cent.

Reporters tended to be suckers for every quack, half-quack, over-eager scientist, or naive country doctor who thought he had a serum to cure tuberculosis, a herbal remedy for cancer, or a new surgical procedure to rejuvenate the aged. When the newspapers were not wasting space on undeserving medical stories, they were over-playing legitimate news, getting their facts wrong, and generally making a nuisance of themselves interfering in the lives and practices of busy professionals. Doctors’ deep suspicion of what they read in the newspapers and even in the less-carefully edited of the medical journals, helps to ...
