I feel depressed, for it’s really inconvenient for me to search online without Google. I formed the habit of using Google to search from the time when I was a university student. Majoring in Interpreting and Translation, I use Google to look up the meaning of the newest words to do translation.

Google really helps me a lot not only in my translating practice but also brings me much convenience by giving proper answers to my questions. Compared with Baidu, the most popular search engine in China, Google can give more correct and relevant answers to my questions. Therefore, I use Google instead of Baidu in China to search things. My husband also has the same view. He prefers Google.

Therefore, when I got the news that Google leaves China, I felt sad and thought that I couldn’t use Google any more, But later I found that I could access Google.com.hk to search. I’m so glad.

What I need to do is to promote it and let more and more people know it, so that they can enjoy the professional interpreting service offered by our interpreters in China. I think of the searching engine: google.

Also, I’m doing the Pay per Click in Google to attract more people to my website. Then, Out of my expectation, google.com.hk is blocked. It really annoys me. Also, it does harm to the promotion of my website.

I believe that many people with English education background prefer to use Google instead of Baidu. Now, I really hope that google can come back to China one day.
