The search strategy of finding similar texts is not only good for writing a text, but it is also useful if you want to write it correctly. Develop this strategy means helping the learner prepare himself for everyday situations. In the Internet age, learning languages no longer means having to do everything on your own. It means knowing where to find the resources that will help you perform a certain task. We think that it is also important to help learners to develop revision and correction strategies for their texts using databases (a search engine can, in this case, be considered as a database) and human resources on the Internet like correction services or experts in specialised forums.
