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.
7 N+ V; m1 d+ c2 n! g3 k+ J1) 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.
6 o6 n9 Q- y8 B7 J* @3 Z2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.8 A  p5 J* n9 Y& d0 F
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.: M* T6 U1 D/ U# r" K
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." |7 q' {6 m& C: M* `8 J
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.
