Leonardo Da Vinci

Leonardo Da Vinci was the best artist and scientist of his time. He painted the Last Supper and the Monalisa. He invented the helicopter, the parachute, and the war tanks.
He was arrested because he took corpses and opened them to learn things about the human body. Some time later, he died in prison.
For me, Da Vinci was the most intelligent person I've ever heard of.

Mr. Paulo's comment:

I was greatly impressed when I saw the Monalisa in Paris and the Last Supper in Milan, along with other art works by Da Vinci. But what I truly admire is the fact that he was a visionary! Thanks for sharing.

Composition

DiArY

One day I broke my foot and on the same day I had a casting for a model.
Lost one chance to go to Madrid, the U.S., and Europe. But I won one fashion show with Elite. I am very happy with what we learn from life.

Mr. Paulo's comment:

Rafaella, I edited your writing a little. Is this what you mean? Good to read your posts!






My horror story

My former school was very bad. I hated it. My friends weren't my friends, my mom didn't believe me, and I had to stay there for three years. My teachers were horrible, they didn't do anything. My nightmare finished when I came to the School of the Nations. I like the School of the Nations very much, and I love my friends.


Mr. Paulo's comment:

I'm very happy you enjoy it with us, Larah! Keep up the good work!

Colombia ** livia

I traveled to Colombia and when I arrived, I went to my aunt's house. We (my aunt and uncle, my mother and father, my cousin and my sister and I) went a restaurant called "André". It is a special restaurant ,because there is place for eating, and another place for children to play.
All the children (I, my sister, and my cousin) wanted to make a mask. I went last, but my cousin and my sister didn't wait for me, and when I arrived at the table there was no food. Then I asked for another plate with fries and I ate alone.
Finally my father and my uncle gave the girls a lecture because they didn't wait for me.



Mr. Paulo's comment:

What a great story, Livia! I'm glad you shared it with us. Do you still have the mask you made?

My diet

I like to eat different foods. I sometimes eat breakfast in my house. I always drink coke. I always eat some rice. I always eat meat. Ialso eat beans, but not every day. I sometimes eat ice cream and chocolate bar. I hardly ever add suggar to juice. I love fries, milk shake, spaghetti and coke. But I think my diet it is very yummy.


Mr. Paulo's comment:

Yes, it sounds yummy, but do you also eat healthy food sometimes? Add some fruit and vegetables to your diet, they can also taste great!
