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., ]" [, O. c! X8 }
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.
, N, n: T  ^' Z3 {% x4 b* _0 k2 @2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.' ?1 h: S9 e! y3 `" M
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.
( b: Y1 g1 T' T4 }' q4) 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.& B, I: I& {4 ]/ m' W8 i. s4 V4 O
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.

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
