Special objects
I believe that everyone has got an object that is close to their heart. What makes those things special is not
the object itself, its price, or its appearance, but the emotions they bring. No wonder such things usually tell
a story – about an event that is important to us, about people we associate with it, or about a place we have
visited.
My special object is my blanket; my grandma made it for me from clothes that I wore when I was little. She
took my old clothes and cut small squares of material from them and joined them together to make this lovely
patterned blanket. It’s nice and soft, and I have it on my bed; I think I’m really lucky, it took a long time
for Grandma to make this for me. I’ve had it for 2 years and still whenever I’m cold, I cover myself with it
and I feel really warm – not only because the blanket is so warm, but because it reminds me of a person who
really loves me. I can say I feel warm on the inside, as well!
My brother’s favourite thing is his first set of drumsticks. He’s played the drums since he was seven years old,
and sometimes I think this is something that he can’t live without. His drumsticks are light and comfortable
to hold, and he used them when he first started playing. Of course he’s got some bigger ones now, but he still
keeps the old ones, because they remind him of his first attempts (not perfect, by the way) to play the drums.
Fortunately, now he plays really well, but it’s so noisy that I’m happy that he plays the drums in the garage!
2 How long did it take for James’s grandma to make the blanket?
A His grandma didn’t spend much time making it.
B His grandma spent a lot of time making it.
C His grandma made it very quickly.
D His grandma spent two years on it.
3 How are James’s brother’s old drumsticks different from the ones he uses now?
A They are bigger.
B They are less comfortable.
C They are a different size.
D They are heavier.
