だけど難しくてきれいに書けませんでした。
ここでのfairとはどういう意味かと聞かれたので、「きれいに/上手に書く」という意味で、well とかclearな文字を書くということだと説明したところ、それならlegiblyが適切だとのこと。

Two Brothers
I have a big brother.
He looks just like me.
It is a mirror image.
He is good at everything, but I’m not.
He can throw a ball very well, but I can’t.
Also, he is very powerful, but I’m not.
I wonder why I’m bad at everything.
We are identical like twins though.
Under such a situation, our parents always pay more attention to him.
Secretly, I have tried to throw the ball, but the ball went to the wrong direction.
I cannot do anything right.
One day, my brother was crushed by a press machine, and died.
My parents wept very much.
I was sure that they were thinking I should have died instead of him.
I was so sad.
After a period of time, my parents stopped crying, and started to expect me.
I decided to meet their expectations.
I wanted to be like my brother, and worked really hard.
It was not easy, but I didn’t give up.
Finally, I became able to do everything like my brother.
My parents rejoiced so much, and I was really happy, too.
By the way, I forgot to say our names for you.
My brother’s name is Right Hand, and I am Left Hand.
I wanted to be left-handed when I was small, so I tried writing with left hand.
