An ellipse is an oval.

A template is a piece of plastic or something with a shape cutout so you can trace it.

Here's an ellipse template:

Ellipse templates also come in a variety of degrees. A good assortment is ideal.

Dont worry, we know not everyone speaks english.

Re: with the risk of looking really bad

From a technical standpoint you arent "tracing" it's a guide like a ruler or a french curve. (beating a dead horse)

You can get them sent anywhere in the world from http://www.dickblick.com or any number of art supply stores.
