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.
3 M0 {8 t* B& A4 d' c. R  \! k  l5 l1) 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.* _; }, `! ?+ e$ f
2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.5 Y$ f" |! T# J# j! }8 l) `
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.
* I1 d4 u  _% a2 F1 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.
. D- `! z, A3 }4 w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?2 ^2 N4 f+ k7 @, {& ~( 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
