I saw a textbook which was different mine today. It belonged a boy who used to study in Shenzhen, which is one of the most developed super cities in China. The book was came out by another publisher. I think it is much more interesting and better than mine. It is more vivid and native, it can lead you to feel the beauty of English. The book I am using is more rigid and Chinglish. What's worse, there are several errors in the book. By reading it, you can never know what English really is. It seems that its only fuction is to help pass the exam. Ironically, it is unseay for the students to study by themselves. I can't imagine that how can a person get a good grade when he doesn't like the textbook.

Nice! The Chinese textbooks I use are pretty much the only ones I've seen other people have, I wouldn't doubt that the people who publish it have cornered the market on these textbooks. Sometimes the vocab is a little specific, or the textbook sentences sound weird in English, but otherwise it's alright.

Your Chinese is really good, so I think there is no problem with your textbook. Some sentences of mine are so weird, and what's more, they neither sound like English nor Chinese. I often ask my Ss when teaching: do you think that is right? I think it is quite weird.

The book was came outhad been published by another publisher.

I think it is much more interesting and better than mine.

It is more vivid and native, and it can lead you to feel the beauty of English.

A conjunction would make the sentence more natural

The book I am using is more rigid and contains Chinglish.

I suggest adding the word "contains" or something similar. "Chinglish" is often used as a noun, therefore it cannot be used on its own to describe the book.
In addition, do note that the word "Chinglish" is quite informal. Another way to write this might be, "The book I am using is more rigid and contains instances of poorly-translated English."

It seems that its only function is to help one pass the exam.

I added the word "one", which in this case refers to any person. In this case, the phrase "pass the exam" requires the subject to be specified. Otherwise, this results in what is known as a dangling modifier.

Ironically, it is unseay for the students to study by themselves.

"unseay" seems to be a typo here.

I can't imagine that how canhow a person could get a good grade when he doesn't like the textbook.

I don't understand the sense of 'native' here, so it's difficult to correct - it doesn't work in this sentance though.

The book I am using is more rigid and Chinglish.

I've never heard the word 'Chinglish' before but I'm guessing it's a combination of Chinese and English?

What's worse, there are several errors in the book.
