Grammar
"It's kind of you to do like this."
I have a Korean middle-school student who wrote this phrase on a test. Clearly the correct way is "It's kind of you to do this."
However, there are some colloquial examples of people saying "Do like I do," and other such phrases.
Is there a hard and fast rule which makes this sentence grammatically impossible? Or is it just a matter of opinion?

It's not a matter of opinion, but a matter of accepted usage. 'It's kind of you to do this' is not the same as 'Do like I do'.
