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.) j9 p1 T/ g+ ~/ l5 l5 N6 x9 x
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.* P3 ?3 P# \. }+ ]8 u, i/ p; U1 E
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.. H. F) ^+ |2 T6 O8 g. v1 d- {
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.: A+ r1 C( r7 `3 D/ s$ i1 Y
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.
# A: F9 o( q8 w. T, i9 S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?
1 w4 H( `1 M' C* ]% ^7 V9 v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
