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.7 e( I/ [! }: z, s( Z
1) 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.
- x0 R7 ~0 V7 v9 |! w7 e4 [2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
$ j  r" K2 W$ u8 X, r; D3)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.
2 [$ N& x* r5 R: [+ S2 K; ~% k% I4) 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.$ R1 K( S/ D/ o: S) L8 i" _: r2 b
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.
