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., ^* s& L! J2 g+ o
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 G* l- U4 e5 j! {  }" J( Y( P6 k
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
* G1 J8 B# m8 u3 r. D% Q+ 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.
) A1 Y9 B8 Q0 V0 Y# d7 h4) 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.
1 B, n/ X5 k- {: J9 e) z# {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.

谦虚使人进步。不看完怎么知道文章的精髓呢?: S. Y& X7 R' H& ?6 G( x/ J$ M
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
