5. Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We present a practical foreign language writing support tool which makes it much easier to utilize dictionary and example sentence resources. This tool is implemented as a front-end processor and can be combined with a wide variety of applications. The extent to which the retrieval and display of information proceeds automatically depends on the type of information being referenced; this element of the design adds to system efficiency. We also describe our English writing support tool with a stepped-level interactive machine translation function, by which users can write English by accessing essential information resources including bilingual dictionaries and example sentences.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Our tool is implemented as an English writing support tool, now under expansion to a general writing support tool. Another further work is enlarging resources our tool can access. We are also developing an example-based translation function which utilizes example sentences in &amp;quot;Reibun Bainda&amp;quot; for Japanese-to-English conversion function of &amp;quot;Eisaku Pen&amp;quot; and an automatic example sentence acquisition function which acquires users' input texts and their translation and adds them to &amp;quot;Reibun Bainda&amp;quot; automatically.</Paragraph>
