1. Giving explanation in English.

When you want to talk about the reason something happens, you can use why or because.
Do you know the difference between these two words? Lets have a look
at why and because today.

We use because to introduce the reason an action happens. We use because to connect two

clauses.

The pattern is [action clause] + because + [reason clause]

 I eat pizza for lunch every day because I love it!

 I brought an umbrella because it is going to rain this afternoon.
 I need a passport because I am going to travel overseas.

We use why to introduce the action that happens for a certain reason. We use why in the
sentence that mentions the action.

The pattern is [reason sentence] + That’s why + [action clause]

 I love pizza! That’s why I eat it for lunch everyday.

 It is going to rain this afternoon. That’s why I brought an umbrella.
 I am going to travel overseas. That’s why I need a passport.

 WHY DOES MARCO POLO WALKED ALONG THE OLD SILK ROAD?

Marco Polo was born in Venice in the north of Italy in 1254, his parents were
Niccolo Polo and Nicole Anna Defuseh. His mother got sick and died when he was eight.
He was raised for his relatives and met his father for first time when he was sixteen years
old, when he came back to Venice after a long trip of 16 years. His father was surprised to
meet him because when he left, he didn’t know his wife Anna was pregnant.

His father and his uncle Mathew were merchants, they were always far from home
because they use to travel along the old Silk Road between Venice and Beijing. They made
a three years trip, first sailing until the ports of Constantinople or Acre, then walking until
China; crossing high plateaus like The Pamir in Iran, fertile valleys in Turkey, the
snowcapped mountains of Tibet, the deserts of Gobi and Taklamakan in China, crossing
wild rivers like Amur. The Polos brought gold, silver, precious stones, ivory, glass and
perfumes to China, and trade with silk, porcelain, pottery, spices, jade, iron and furs in Europe.

When Niccolo and Mathew were ready to go back to the court of the great Mongol
emperor Kublai Khan in Beijing; Marco said to his father. I am going with you. Niccolo ask him.
Why do you want to come with us? Marco answered: because of all the great stories you told
me, I want to know the wonderful places you visited and because I don’t want to miss you
anymore, mi lord and father.
