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.
6 j% M3 m& v; w& h* s: j5 ]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.
& B& x9 z- G# z0 _7 n" y* N: T2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
. G& b3 b5 o& _- {9 x+ l3)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., D5 O  P. ~, J& i! p$ q7 A, g) T
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.2 @: r+ q5 l, q' ^
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.
