Here are two articles from an encyclopaedia.

Da Vinci, Leonardo

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was an Italian painter, inventor, musician, engineer and scientist.

Da Vinci was born in the countryside. From an early age, he showed great intelligence and artistic ability. As he grew older, he learnt to do many

different things. His paintings are very famous, and one, the Mona Lisa, is perhaps the most famous painting in the world. He also had many inventions. For example, his notebooks include some interesting drawings of flying machines. (See Art)

Dinosaurs

Dinosaurs lived on Earth more than 60 million years before human begins. They lived everywhere on Earth. Some dinosaurs were as small

as chickens. Others were as big as ten elephants. Some could even fly.

Many dinosaurs ate plants. However, some dinosaurs liked to eat meat.

Dinosaurs lived on Earth for more than 150 million years. Then, suddenly, they all died out. Nobody knows why. However, we can learn about them from their fossils. (See Earth history)
