What does the Japanese say?

It means "You don't have to make a fair copy of your writing".

btw, doens't "to make a fair copy of smth" mean the same as "to write out fair smth".

I've never used either expression. Does the Japanese sentence mean something like "You don't need to write your composition neatly" or "You don't need to make your composition look attractive"?

It seems that the Japanese describes the following. Someone has written a rough copy of composition and now he wants to make a clean copy of it. Someone else looks at that composition and finds its look good enough so he says that there's no need to make a clean copy.
