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.* Y. V/ ]! s3 r: B8 M. Y5 [
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.0 K+ q) Q( i1 v! i
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
/ Z, n/ H: J, g4 s2 v" v3)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.% h0 S" U( T. q
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.
; [/ [8 Q+ T1 c7 V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.

谦虚使人进步。不看完怎么知道文章的精髓呢?
( K0 f) p1 |+ X* E, I7 `0 w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
