I decided to take a translation exam in the end of this month. English-Japanese translation is not a problem for me, but I'm not good at writing English, so Japanese-English translation is really difficult for me.

Below is a sample of the exam, which I translated from Japanese to English. (In fact, this is an 'easier' sample. Actual exam sentences are much longer and harder.)

--
The size of Venus is almost equal to the earth. Venus is 12,100 km (7,500 miles) in diameter.
Venus might seems to like the earth in its size. However, it is considerably different in other respects. First, Venus rotates clockwise, or same direction as clock hands. All other planets of the solar system rotate counter-clockwise, except Venus.

Please correct this, and please re-translate into Japanese if you want to try:-)
