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$ q, i; y% t, T, ~1 B1 u. t1) 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./ E) D, A5 ^+ J
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.% z+ g+ n  N- \: w% G; F- g- G# ^* 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./ l. u( q/ S* {. t+ |* t
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.0 T% I7 y$ _5 A/ ?# n/ ~; c3 F
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.
