典型的中国人写出的E文.该文写的非常差

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
8 L1 D6 Y3 w2 G7 [  |9 S1) 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.$ `' h) G, t; M( @6 |5 u8 _# u: K9 a% f
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.8 R( T6 e/ ?. d1 T1 o1 k0 p6 ^5 e2 s
3)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.
# x. M: y3 H. D, c9 b4) 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." [& [; h# o: W6 }9 Z: M3 g" z
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.
