You can use the search filters if you want to be picky, but generally .org/.gov/.edu sites are going to be your friends. We don't have any specific sites to use as far as I know.

What do you mean by "references"? Do you mean sources?
I also have several Powerpoint presentations from my English teacher if you'd like them. I found them very useful for formatting and citations.

Yeah, I mean sources. In China, we have certain websites to search for sources and most of them are journals. I need some similar websites to find sources in English. Could you recommend any website to me please? :)

Well, what I've been taught to do is to look up what I'm writing about and pick sources that have the information I need, usually done through Google.
So like, if I was writing about whether or not we should change the laws so that gay marriage is legal, I'd start by Googling something like "gay marriage facts", read up on it a little, pick a stance, and then start to form an argument.
In simpler terms, I use Google to find what I need. I've been told to avoid Wikipedia entries and .com/.net sites in class, so those never appear as a source in my essay or bibliography.

So there's no website especially for source searching, right? I mean, when I use Google to find something related to my essay thesis, I will probably also find a lot of contents which are not scientific and academic.

No problem. ^-^
You want the formatting powerpoints too? I just have to get them off my school's Google Drive.

No, thank you. :) We already have this and it's convenient to use. http://www.swinburne.edu.au/lib/studyhelp/harva...

btw Can I find and use contents from a book or some articles from magazines and newspapers on the Internet too? Not just the web sources that I have to add the URL in my bibliography

I use a site called ebscohost! It is a search engine of a lot of academic databases , my school subscribes to it though so I don't know if that would help.
Also there is the site "plosone.org" which is free to use and has academic jornals :)
