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.1 ]( A# C; {3 F: v1 |
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.+ W3 x4 C" k" _: Z0 n) q
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.$ o; f7 b# O1 y  T8 @
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.
  g4 O) J4 F: T) D4) 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.
0 C8 X" R+ s4 K$ Z/ l; v1 ~5 J7 s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.
