大家经常使用的是百度搜索，它在中文搜索中所占的比重是很大的，学习英语的时候可以利用搜索引擎来帮助你实现最全球化最地道的表达方法，利用搜索引擎是能够集合所有最优秀的英语资源来为你服务。那么GOOGLE能为我们做什么？

一   把GOOGLE当作DICTIONARY

GOOGLE搜索框中键入你要的中文词汇，空格，再随便键入一个英文单词， （当然输入相关内容的一个单词可以更快更准确的查到你要的单词。）这样GO，就可以找到你要的英文翻译了，如果你学二外三外，可以利用GOOGLE LANGUAGE，查找世界上各种语言的拼写方法。是个万能字典。

FOR INSTANCE：要查“建筑”一词的说法，键入“建筑”空格“ENGLISH”/“BUILDING”能查出“architecture”这个词。大家不妨试一试

二   用GOOGLE找出最地道的英语表达方法

这一步是基于上面的步骤的，如果你想知道某一方面的东西老外是怎么表达的，那你就可以把你想要查的东西用英文在GOOGLE里面搜一下，在刚才的基础上你可以把“architecture”重新键入搜索，这样可以搜出很多CNN BBC 记者写的最地道的表达方法。学好英语需要不断的了解现在最流行最实用的表达方法，媒体提供了这样最新最看的信息，可以好好利用。

FOR INSTANCE：在英语交流中，外国人最感兴趣的东西是中国本土的文化和历史，向他们介绍这些东西需要避免CHINGLISH的思维方式和表达方式，所以，在GOOGLE 中搜索出的东西是西方记者对中国文化了解之后的报道，表达地道准确，而且符合西方人的思维习惯，在交流中不会出现文化差异造成的尴尬。想要把英语学好，这一点很重要。

三    GOOGLE是我家的GPS

GOOGLE推出过一个很有意思的小软件就是google earth，这个东西就是一个电子地图，用3D效果做出来的，之所以推荐给大家是因为它是ENGLISH VERSION，在上面大家一面找自己的家，一面可以认识很多地名。效果非常清晰，可以找到你家的院子或者是你家的那座楼，是个很廉价的GPS，相信大家用了都会很兴奋的。

当然GOOGLE推出的NET MAP有很多，比如GOOGLE MARS，这个时候你该复习一下自己的地理知识天文知识，同时，你会发现使用这些LITTLE SOFTWARE你才知道自己的英文水平究竟是不是合格。慢慢探索。。。。
