Hello, hello, lovely and welcome into Ailed Speaking Part 2.

A very interesting topic today.

Describe an important old thing that your family has kept for a long time.

You should say what it is, how when your family first got this thing,

how long your family has kept it?

And explain why this thing is important to your family.

Wow.

So first of all, it should be something important, old, and something that your family has kept. So your family has had this

thing at home for a long time. Rory, give us your story. Oh, I think we have a ton of heirlooms in the house, to be honest with you.

But the one that stands out the most for me is a portrait-style photograph of my late grandmother,

which we must have had for decades now.

When it comes to when we first got the thing, honestly, I have no idea.

It's been with us almost as long as I can remember, and it's always been in our

dining room next to the kitchen. In terms of why we've hung on to it for so long, well, family is

pretty important, obviously, so having pictures of past and present family members is important

for a sense of continuity, if nothing else. To tell you a bit more about what it looks like, I know I said it's a photograph,

but it's also a very nicely done one with a good use of light that highlights all the features of my grandmother's face.

You might even say it shows her in a good light.

The frame of the thing is very ornate and made this sort of polished material that almost

glows in the light of the room itself.

It's like it's not just a picture, it's also a cornerstone of the decorations in the room itself,

and everything on the walls is structured around it.
