我看了几行,就看不下去了.
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.
4 h4 z1 ~' k" ?8 U: I" _# A  `7 c2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
. y+ C' L+ B3 H0 C  ~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.
' \7 ]7 A, H9 T1 B% @$ ^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.
9 \; ?( ]; n; ]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？
* h  Q8 j& U$ E) a) A( {& ^/ Y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

能写出此文的人，一定是深得英文精髓。幽默，有趣。
