And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
3 I  }; c3 p; J( m+ pEnglish muffins were not invented in England

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down

我看了几行,就看不下去了.
9 V' P9 t9 y/ E2 S* l0 v1) 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.
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
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.
" N1 Z- q) i  u/ w8 d& b4) 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 Z& w: ?$ e6 m, R: T  T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？
7 U% S) V/ \7 T$ K  ^: x2 s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。
