What are search engines?
Search engines are to find websites that Internet user may want to visit. To use a search engine, you need some key words. For example, if you want to find a website about the function of a new mobile phone, key words that may help are “Docomo”, “new” and “function”. Then, if you enter some key words into search engine, you will find some websites that you want to visit.

My favorite search engines
My favorite search engine is “Yahoo!” because it is very intimate for me. For example, it offers free e-mail service. In addition, Yahoo! is easy to look for a website and we can get some recent news such as Hurricane Katrina. Moreover, Yahoo! uses many colors and has a few advertisements. For these reasons, I like Yahoo! and I always use it.
I hope you’ll find your favorite search engine.
