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.
: I% |9 g( I1 s8 I6 y& H8 k1) 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.8 K8 |2 [6 w, y  }
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
( L0 b& ]# w9 }: f. M. ^4 n$ ~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.
3 Q9 E4 F6 N: C7 v+ P4) 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.
6 _6 d' G; Y( ~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.
