Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of The Travels of Marco Polo. This, then, I would have you know, is how they are made. They are

built of the wood called spruce and of fir. They have one deck; and above this deck, in most ships, are at least sixty cabins, each of which can comfortably accommodate one merchant. They have one steering-oar and four masts. Often they add another two masts, which are hoisted and lowered at pleasure. The entire hull is of double thickness: that is to say, one plank is fastened over the top of another, and this double planking extends all the way round. It is caulked outside and in, and the fastening is done with iron nails. What is the author's purpose for writing this text? to entertain readers by describing travels on a ship to inform readers about how ships are built to persuade readers that they should build ships to educate readers about how they can build their own ships

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

When participating in a group discussion, a good group member maintains a balance between:

a) Speaking and listening

<em>The point of a discussion is to interchange ideas about a specific topic. Therefore, one needs to speak in order to add to the discussion but; it is also important to know when to be quiet and simply listen. A good listener pays attention to what others are saying, this might include taking notes. However, taking notes does not necessarily contribute to a discussion. In a discussion whenever one speaks one needs to back up one's claims with facts and in the end, it is necessary to summarize the main ideas. Nevertheless, summarizing is not a key factor of a good group member that participates in a discussion. </em>
