Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?

Let's face it

No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
& d4 K- L; G/ U% P- A+ M% @/ iEnglish muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

' V" n* _6 T" ~5 z  L. S0 k  ^We sometimes take English for granted

Quicksand takes you down slowly
. S+ Z( J# s# i2 D& W. ?1 ABoxing rings are square
# b6 X7 n# V8 E1 J  t! UAnd a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

( `( S6 r# _; v7 c' e& o. [If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
# M/ h& n* T( c/ b6 oShouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.

% I( u  [7 U8 sAnd it reflects the creativity of the human race

It ends.

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
' Q4 U! ]) M' p& e" i! Q- d8 w1) 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.
/ r/ o( x" _3 K, o2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
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.
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.
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？
+ F# H% ], S- D$ l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

能写出此文的人，一定是深得英文精髓。幽默，有趣。
