Describe an old thing that your family has kept for a long time.(描述你家保留了很长时间的一件物品).这样的东西真的多了去了，for example，我爹妈结婚时，我外公给我爸爸买了辆上海凤凰的自行车，虽然它现在已经生锈完全骑不动，虽然我们家不再骑自行车。但是这辆车的年纪比我都大呢！所以我觉得，描述一件老物也不是很难嘛！这里分享一篇范文，描述的意见小雕像，个人觉得很有意思，来看看吧！

Task：
Describe an old thing that your family has kept for a long time.
You should say：
what the object is
where it came from
how long it has been in your family
Sample answer：
I bought an exquisite Murano glass figurine of Pegasus(穆拉诺人马座玻璃小雕像) when I traveled in Venice.
It is about twelve inches high, really heavy and gorgeously-wrought sculpted (错彩镂金雕刻)glass with real gold spun through the wings, mane and tail. I fell in love with it when I saw it at the glass factory. It was said to be 50 years old and thus hideously(可怕地) expensive, but I rationalized (使合理化)that it would be my one souvenir from that first European trip. So I put it on my credit card and had it shipped to China.
My precious(珍贵的) artwork arrived a few weeks after I returned home. I unwrapped(打开)it and placed it carefully on a bookshelf in my new apartment. I stood and admired it, then went to open the blinds(百叶窗)so the sun could hit it, miscalculated(算错) my reach and knocked Pegasus right onto my newly waxed hardwood floor.
Of course it broke, but not completely. That was the worst part. Both wings broke off and one front leg was shattered. But my mother thought it might be salvageable(可挽救的). She found a glass artist in Shanghai who did his best to repair it. And he did a fair job. But I could never see it the same way again. When I looked at it, I only saw how lovely it had been before my clumsiness(笨拙的)ruined it. It hurt to have broken Pegasus in my living room. So I packed it away.
I still have it. Five years later. I have never re-opened the box, but I can't bring myself to throw it away.
小站雅思君有话说：
描述你家保留了很长时间的一件物品。像这样的物品一般是一些古董，书籍，名画。范文里面就是讲一座小雕像。我是觉得大家备考时可以描述一本书籍，或一副名画。古董的话会涉及一些专有的生僻的词汇，不利于我们考试表述。
话题语料库：
1.Antiques are timeless(永恒的) treasures that will spruce up(把...装扮得漂亮) any home. With a variety of shapes, styles, colors, patterns(图案), and materials available, the market for antique furniture(家具)can match even the pickiest(最挑剔的) person's taste. Before purchasing(购买)antique furniture,, it is important to first consider how the pieces will complement(填充)a home or room. If the decoration(装饰)is contemporary(现代的), an ornate Victorian object might not create the desired(理想的)effect.
2.Pride and Prejudice is a novel of manners by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story follows the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, as she deals with issues of manners(礼仪), upbringing(教养), morality(道德), education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency(英国摄政时期风格的). Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman, Mr. Bennet, living in Longbourn.
Page 2 of a letter from Jane Austen to her sister Cassandra (11 June 1799) in which she first mentions Pride and Prejudice, using its working title First Impressions.
Set in England in the early 19th century, Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's five unmarried daughters after the rich and eligible(称心如意的)Mr. Bingley and his status-conscious friend, the even more rich and eligible Mr. Darcy, have moved into their neighbourhood. While Bingley takes an immediate liking to the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, Darcy is disdainful(不屑)of local society and repeatedly clashes(冲突)with the Bennets' lively second daughter, Elizabeth.
