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.
. Y* ^( u8 P; R9 l1) 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.
+ i8 V' u; {  L! f, Y1 C2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
  @3 z/ l3 T, M$ X0 {* T4 r3)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.
: I& S8 A" k2 M" W) l2 L) V2 b. m4) 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, f1 `4 b+ e7 r: v# z; N7 v9 b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.
