September 26, 1580
ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
I have just arrived back from travelling around the world and of course fighting the Spaniards. It has been a great adventure as I found 16 new countries!!!!!!!!!!! They are called: Austria, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, America, Mexico, Panama, Haiti, South Africa, Jamaica, Canada, India, Pakistan, Persia, Australia and New Zealand!!!!! This day has been wonderful I have seen so many animals, people and countries, the food in all those countries especially Panama have been wonderful on 3 where in Spanish hands and found the rest I have found and belong to me!!!!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow I am to be knighted by the Queen Elizabeth 1 and she is proud of me, even though she does embarrass me just to show off to the Spanish, but as long as she is in good terms with them.
From Yours Sincerely
Your Greatest Treasure,
Francis Drake! (Or Sir Francis Drake!)
nice work sienna but remember this is not a letter so don't use yours sincerely.
DeleteDear Diary,
ReplyDeleteI wish to become a famous salior whom will be known through all time forward.At the age of 10 I went so see with Grown up men and I flabberghasted all the crew by knowing what to do.
My first expedition was with John Hawkins who was my cousin.On the my 27th trip I became captin of the ship called The Pelican ,However, when I was 38 we changed the name to The Golden Hind!!!!! The Spanianians became my mortal enemies .The spanians called me le Draque which means 'The Dragon'.They soon learnt that I were Captin of The Golden Hind.I sank over 100 Spanish ships had stole over 100,000 of gold , silk , spices and much more valuble items like jewls and diamond.
Hello Hassan,
DeleteThis is very good but you have only done 127 words so you still need 23 more words to reach the minimum
This is good otherwise

ReplyDeleteDear diary,
I am most proud of myself, I could just ooze out as many tear drops as a whole river.I will never forget this event till I die. I have sailed around the world. Oh I am so happy. I can't resist it, being the first man to ever circum navigate world makes me as proud as can be. The world was beautiful. I have travelled round the coast of South America and North America, through a few islands of Asia,round the coast of Africa and back again. I hope I will be remembered in the future.

ReplyDeleteHello this is sir Francis Drake and I just came back from my wonder full adventure and I am going to tell you about it. My favourite part was when I became captain of a ship called the pelican. I didn't quite like that name so I renamed it as the golden hind. Now my worst part of the adventure is that when we had a battle with the Spanish armada. When I was nine years old I always wished that I was the first Englishman to sail around the world and that wish came true and I did become a sailor and I did sail around the world. I went to Asia, Europe , Australia, Antarctica , north America and south America. I have a queen called Elizabeth the 1st. This queen was the one who told me to aboard the golden hind and defeat the Spanish armada. there is one other information to tell you witch was that I had eleven brothers and I was the oldest brother.
Dear diary,
ReplyDeleteSeptember 26,1580
I was born in 1540 in Devonshire in England.I have sailed and explored more than twelve countries.On 20th August 1578 I renamed my ship as the Golden Hind.There were three more named as marigold,swan and Benedict.Only the Golden Hind made the complete vovage on September 26,1580.
After exploring these countries,I feel that I belong to them and that I have the passion to explore more countries around the world.

ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
I have just come back from my amazing voyage around the world me and the crew have been longing to arrive at the small river bank of Plymouth. On my journeys I have been discovering distant lands and expanding the Elizabethan Empire. I have captured and raided the Spaniards ships in Mexico and Spain I have also made friends with the Native Americans and the Native Indies and traded for spices and new foods. I have been able to sail through the deadly Pacific Ocean and be the first English man to travel around the world. Another thing we have so much money that we could drown in jewels and make a fortune. After we got back the Queen Elizabeth I greeted us to a huge banquet (a feast) and asked us a bit on how we sailed around the world and what it was like and how we raided the Spaniards and how far we went and expanded the empire, now I’m resting for a while I will be sure to update you on the next day bye!

ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
I'm on a ship. I've just told of some workers because they were messing about and not doing what they are told. I just gave them a warning next time;It will be the punishment! So, I was doing my work when all of sudden our ship stopped. I wondered why because it was a straight course to an island to explore and conquer. I was so excited but didn't show it. Anyway we heard a huge explosion which sounded nearby. We saw a war ship. Was it Spanish or something else? We got worried we loaded up the cannons and gear and took our stations. Right now i am in the deck getting ready. Wish me luck! I may not come out alive! So see you soon [hopefully!].

ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
I have just come back from my 3 year trip around the world. My voyage was so, so, so, so, exciting I had some sheep vomiting on my crew's heads, one fell out to sea 5 banged their heads so that wasn't very nice I had a very harsh night but atleast were back in Plymouth. I went around south America, through the strait of Magellan, to the West coast of North America. I then crossed the Pacific Ocean and sailed by Indoes-ia. I then travelled through the Indian Ocean, passed the Cape Of Good Hope, and back to England. I saw some people 'trying' to save others but there was a rule that if you tried to save someone you would be stealing him from the sea goddess. at night It was tricky to stear but at the end it was fine also I saw 1 person banging their head 12 people fell into the sea wich was sad cause it was our last trip so it was a harsh n-ight.
Dear Diary,
