In Chinese writing do you read from top to bottom or from bottom to top? Also from left to right or right to left?

From left to right and from up to down. Each character has to be written in order too. There are web pages that teach you the strokes proper order.

bypass to the library and use the printer there, or use a chum's pc who has a printer. it is too maximum probable which you will possibly make an errors would desire to you tried to replica the characters via skill of hand.
