How to describe essay formats?
Tags: paper format, essay format
Hello everyone,
I have to assign an essay to some students who struggle with English. I would like to be able to tell them the Chinese words related to page formatting if need be. Below is a list of related terms followed by my incomplete (and possibly erroneous) translation of them. Do any of you know how to translate the missing terms? Any other corrections?
Essay format:
- 2.5 to 3 pages
- single-sided
- A4 paper
- Helvetica or similar Font
- Font size: 12pt
- Double-spaced
- 2.5 cm margins
文章格式:
- 2.5至3页
- 单面
- A4纸
- 赫 尔维蒂卡或者类似的字体
- 字体大小:(don't know)
- (don't know)
- 2.5厘米页边空白
Note: I'm especially interested in the best way to indicate '12pt'. When I use Chinese computers, I notice that there are two font size systems. The one that is listed first in the drop down menu is the specifically Chinese system. (I hope this makes sense.) I wonder which Chinese size is the equivalent of 12pt?
Thanks in advance.
