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.
$ e8 L* s* X5 T/ v, L6 Y; A  ^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.' v& U& V( F% q1 W5 o5 i- k
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.& X' r- |, m3 L
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., O- F% V, g0 A' a
4) 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.
3 K' d6 e6 \6 T/ c/ b: D+ ]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.
