我看了几行,就看不下去了.
4 }/ h4 |+ D* q1) 第一行, 为什么用Have? 不用现在时? 直接用现在时表达当前的意思! 用have,现在完成时,是典型的中国教学出来的思维.
" B/ W: Y- |4 i1 M- y. N, p2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
6 ?( _" O: Z5 H3)第二句: Let's face it. 可笑,可笑. 当然意思可以看的懂,但是写出这话, LINK2水平.
8 H! r2 M) S, ^- M% q. t+ K4) 下一句: stupid 是太口语话了.如果要讽刺他,又带一些正式文章色彩,可以用not as ... as 来表达.
/ \: g  m/ N5 \6 f, q6 ^/ \其他的,我就不看了.好象LZ最近在学习E文. 你贴写文章出来,我帮你修改修改.虽然我也不行,但是可以帮你一些.

- g/ L! l- c8 O谦虚使人进步。不看完怎么知道文章的精髓呢？
实话讲，这个文章还真不是中国人写的。所以并不是只有中国人才犯语法错误

能写出此文的人，一定是深得英文精髓。幽默，有趣。
