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., g+ n! F& `2 i( z; c6 l& o0 n  z
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.
2 L8 y- \9 x8 U# e! p4 U2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平./ x. Y# W9 Z0 ^6 V5 N# z
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.
& w0 T; h: q& V+ c4) 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." y1 _) i7 e# J) D0 ]/ L
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.
