我看了几行,就看不下去了.0 Y! `& ? k i0 z, |- a
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.+ o; L* M B$ o/ W
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.( W$ g6 l( n# C6 R
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.( y! l% B8 X k
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.! }- @/ z2 m' [" q: p z+ C
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.
