我看了几行,就看不下去了.
, S$ G& X5 @. e- Y% B! e; t1) 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.
& M* K, l  p" p) ]. ]2)还是第一行, 用... trouble in learning English. 你写出你的句子,就是LINK3水平.
& E. m: z1 @: {# V$ z3)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.
- H$ S9 \1 O3 L+ w8 a* V- r4) 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.
" R- v' E( O( w* p2 _6 k. A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.

3 t- C9 u0 `% L/ o: s: g* d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
