READING
Read the information about Marco Polo.

Where did the Polo family come from? They were a rich family and they lived in
Italy over 750 years ago. They travelled all over the Mediterranean. They bought
and sold things like gold and silver. Marco was born in 1254 in Venice.
Marco was only six years old when his father and uncle went on their first journey
to China. In China, they met the king of the Mongols, Kublai Khan.
Marco didn’t see his father again for nine years. He was 15 when his father and
uncle returned from China. The next time his father and uncle decided to go to
China they took Marco with them. This was in 1271, they went by ship to Turkey
and then used horses. It was a long journey.
In 1275 they arrived in Khanbalik (modern Beijing) and saw Kublai Khan, he talked
to them and asked them many questions. He liked Marco and so he gave him a
job. What did Marco do in china? Well, he traveled all over the country. He saw that
the Chinese used paper money and used a machine to print books.
He visited the largest city in China, called Kinsai, many times. He said that the
people in Kinsai wore beautiful clothes and ate good food. There were ten big
markets in Kinsai and they sold everything people wanted.
Marco stayed in China for 17 years. The journey home took Marco and his family
two years. In Italy, Marco decided to write a book about his life in China. Many
people didn’t believe Marco’s stories at first. Later, they believed him. Marco died in
1324.
