Besides， Leonardo spent days thinking about how to save time. He developed ideas for something like cutting machines.

Leonardo was a strange man. He never ate meat. That was very unusual in those times（时代）.He never published（发表） scientific discoveries. He usually used mirror writing， which looks like usual writing in a mirror， starting from the right side of the page and moving to the left side.

Only a few of his paintings are left today. Many paintings were not finished because he thought they were not perfect.

Plogging， a new way to exercise， began in Sweden. The name "plogging" comes from two words the Swedish word "plocka"，which means "to pick up"， and the word "jogging"，which means "to run slowly". A Swedish man called Eric started the movement. He saw rubbish here and there when riding to work each day. He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to go to work by bike any more. Instead， he began to run to work and pick up the rubbish at the same time. To his joy， more and more people followed him and soon plogging became popular.

Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the earth. Sometimes rubbish is difficult to collect because it may scatterall around. But if the runners pick up the rubbish on the way， it is quite different. After all， many hands make light work.Another reason is that plogging burns 48 calories（卡路里）. According to a reseach， plogging for 10 minutes burns 48 calories， while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.

The woman walked out of the shop angrily and decided to punish the assistant next day. She returned to the shop the following morning dressed in a fur（毛皮） coat， with a handbag in one hand and a long umbrella in the other. After finding the rude assistant， she asked for the same dress.

I'm never happier than when I'm drinking banana milkshakes. And I love fish. But I don't like drinking fish milkshakes. Theyare just terrible!

Alice in Wonderland. It has so many surprises and such silliness in it.

Do you write for adults too？

Only if I really have to. I much prefer the freedom and fun of writing for children.
