    Today we had an English lesson named Marco Polo and the Silk Road. Now let’s learn more about Marco Polo.

    Marco Polo was born in Italy in 1254. When he was 17， he travelled along the Silk Road with his father and uncle. Finally they arrived in Beijing. They were guests（客人） at the palace. Marco was young， but he was very clever and could speak four languages. The king asked Marco to serve in his court.

    Marco was amazed by how beautiful China was. He

described the Summer Palace as“the greatest palace that I’ve ever seen”.

    Marco was surprised to find Chinese people used paper money in the markets. He was also puzzled by the black stones people used to burn to produce heat. The black stones were coal， but Marco had never seen coal before!

    In 1295, Marco returned to Italy. A person wrote down all the stories that Marco told him ina book called The Travels of Marco Polo.
