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.# m6 i, S1 Q, K& T9 a$ F
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.: I9 y5 c8 `2 c$ x/ |' p
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.) z! \" h+ j+ L; b. Q2 i. z/ 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." a/ Y/ \3 q  Z* i1 j8 G* D) P
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 P' v/ X/ j1 n6 ~, K
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.
