I want to explain a few things about your essay.

First of all, the deadline. The deadline for this essay is October the 18th. Not the 19th, not the 28th, not two days later because your dog was ill or your computer broke – the 18th. If it’s late, I won’t mark it. I won’t even read it – you’ll fail the assignment! So, please hand it in on time. You can even hand it in early, if you like!

You can email me the essays at j.hartshorn@lmu.ac.uk. That’s H-A-R-T-S-H-O-R-N. I’ll reply to say I’ve got it. If I don’t reply within a day, it might mean I didn’t get it, so please email me again to make sure. You can also bring a paper copy of the essay to my office, but let’s be kind to the trees, OK? Email is better for the trees and for me.

Don’t forget that you must reference every idea or quote you use that isn’t your own idea. And the last page of your essay should be a list of all the books you used, in alphabetical order, not in the order you used them!

And lastly, make it easy for me to read! That means use a clear font. Arial is best, but Times New Roman is fine too. Not Comic Sans please! Size 12 font for the essay, and size 14 for the titles and subheadings. And use page numbers. Any questions?

I want to explain a few things about your essay.
我想解释一下关于你的论文的一些事情。

First of all, the deadline. The deadline for this essay is October the 18th. Not the 19th, not the 28th, not two days later because your dog was ill or your computer broke – the 18th. If it’s late, I won’t mark it. I won’t even read it – you’ll fail the assignment! So, please hand it in on time. You can even hand it in early, if you like!
首先，截止日期。这篇论文的截止日期是10月18日。不是 19 号，不是 28 号，也不是两天后，因为你的狗生病了或者你的电脑坏了——是 18 号。如果晚了我就不批改了。我甚至都不会读它——你作业会不及格！所以，请您按时上交。如果你愿意的话，你甚至可以提前交！

You can email me the essays at j.hartshorn@lmu.ac.uk. That’s H-A-R-T-S-H-O-R-N. I’ll reply to say I’ve got it. If I don’t reply within a day, it might mean I didn’t get it, so please email me again to make sure. You can also bring a paper copy of the essay to my office, but let’s be kind to the trees, OK? Email is better for the trees and for me.
您可以通过电子邮件将论文发送至 j.hartshorn@lmu.ac.uk。那是 H-A-R-T-S-H-O-R-N。我会回复说我已经拿到了。如果我在一天内没有回复，可能意味着我没有收到，所以请再次给我发送电子邮件以进行确认。您也可以将论文的纸质副本带到我的办公室，但让我们善待树木，好吗？电子邮件对树木和我来说都更好。

Don’t forget that you must reference every idea or quote you use that isn’t your own idea. And the last page of your essay should be a list of all the books you used, in alphabetical order, not in the order you used them!
不要忘记，您必须引用您使用的所有非您自己的想法或引用。你论文的最后一页应该是你使用过的所有书籍的列表，按字母顺序排列，而不是按你使用它们的顺序排列！

And lastly, make it easy for me to read! That means use a clear font. Arial is best, but Times New Roman is fine too. Not Comic Sans please! Size 12 font for the essay, and size 14 for the titles and subheadings. And use page numbers. Any questions?
最后，让我更容易阅读！这意味着使用清晰的字体。 Arial 最好，但 Times New Roman 也不错。请不要使用 Comic Sans！文章字体为 12 号，标题和副标题字体为 14 号。并使用页码。任何问题？
