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.3 W8 H8 T; Q! F8 ~7 @1 t1 M, y0 t! n
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.7 J0 g/ u4 a/ F' C5 n  @
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
7 G$ `, \9 H% _5 f3)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.
* g. u6 e8 n, P% ?  Y4 R& g4) 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.
$ T+ E3 O1 h) ?; E5 g) A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.
