TITLE AND OPENING STATEMENT

My Leonardo da Vinci

“TITLE” OF THE SPEECH

Spectacular Artist Leonardo da Vinci

OPENING STATEMENT

Our dear Leonardo da Vinci, you will not believe all that he was both as a painter, inventor,
sculptor, architect, engineer, astronomer, because you do not know that he was the inventor who
left out the ideas of what would later be devices and devices as diverse as the parachute, the
helicopter and the tank, although the technological level of his time made it impossible for him to
see them turned into reality.

a. A rhetorical question

Some of the people nowadays think that education is important and that without education a
person cannot believe before Society. Why do you think this happens?

b. A surprising statement

Nowadays people believe that to be important and believe something in society you need to have
a high bachelor's degree but what do they believe Leonardo da Vinci did not receive a formal
education as it may be surprising to know that Leonardo did not receive much formal education.
He learned the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic, but much of his deep learning came later
in his life.

c. A famous quote

“Although nature begins with reason and ends with experience, we need to do the opposite, that
is, start with experience and, from there, we investigate reason”
