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.; U% j! ?  v; @: K
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.
$ L' Y3 H( o  x5 Z4 \2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
$ l7 V: o/ @! y2 ?; F# X  k( L" j9 o3)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 H! r4 |6 Q( s2 I4 o4) 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 f- z( u0 `) j1 x
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.

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
