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!

My father’s special object is a small stone which he found on a beach in Ireland when we went there
for a family holiday. It’s special because you can see an ancient sea snail preserved in it. It’s a hard, round
stone, and in the middle, you can see the marks of the sea snail. He’s really fond of it because it reminds him
of a really enjoyable time that we spent there. We’ve been to a lot of other places but the holiday in Ireland
is his favourite one.
My mother’s object is quite unusual because it’s a medal – and not for first place! She has always been athletic,
and she started running when she was eight years old. She competed for her school a few times, but she never
came first. Once she came third and she got this medal. It’s a small, round medal, not very heavy, and it’s plain,
without any inscription. She says that it’s really special for her because it’s not important if you are the best or
not; what really matters is that you do what you love and you never give up. She will probably never win a race,
but for me it’s a great lesson that you should be satisfied with your life and with what you do. Of course, you
should always try to be better, but winning is not the most important thing in life. Sometimes the enjoyment
you feel about something is what really matters.
And what’s your special object? What story does it tell?
