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.6 l3 Y9 C7 r8 o# x& g; i3 S) A3 S
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.( f/ t$ f) y6 [6 G9 r2 q
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.- f5 Z. Q+ y5 ?7 ~0 p
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.
2 t1 r( z! j9 y" |# [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.5 h7 L3 w6 S* R% x
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.
