Google Translate is a dangerous tool, as students tend to type their work in English, pop it in Google Translate and submit whatever comes out.  Oftentimes, Google Translate looks at one word at a time when it is making its translation, so the result usually makes no grammatical sense.  Instead, please have your child using the following sites to assist them in their writing:

A wonderful French/English dictionary: http://www.wordreference.com

Another good French/English source: Linguee.com

Grammar/spell check for French written work: http://bonpatron.com/en/ (cut and paste French written work into the text box and it will point out any grammatical or spelling errors, and provide short explanations.
