Model Answer 1:
Most often, people keep the antiques that they derive from their ancestors. In
my family, we have a large antique wall clock at the living room. My great
grandfather had brought the clock home during the 1940s.
Timepieces are considered as one of the most important things in the present
days. People need to know the time constantly and a good number of ways
have been invented to know the time. People now mostly use their cell phones
to know the time and there some groups who use wristwatches. But in the
early days of the 19th century, most of the people used
to have grand clocks at
their home as time pieces. It was considered as a symbol of rich and affluence
in those days. Accordingly, to prove his legacy, my great grandfather ordered
for such a clock. The clock was brought from England and still it is in the living
room of our house.
My family has been occupying the great wall clock since my grandfather died.
In fact, the clock has been decorating our house since it was brought home.
When the
clock was brought from England, the issue became one of the most
talked topics in the locality, as I heard it from my father. My great grandfather
was a man who loved to lead a luxurious life. Though he was not a landlord, his
activities were often compared as with them. He always wanted the best
things for use and never compromised with the issues related with comforts. I
also came to know from my father that he used
to ride on elephants for
travelling in the parts of our locality. But now everything has been changed
and accordingly we also did. With the passage of time, the environments have
turned modern and we are enjoying the benefits. But the clock is still in our
house and it is expected to be there as long it runs.
My family got the clock from my great grandfather and we really care for the
clock. This has become an integral part of our everyday life.
The clock is placed
in the living room of our house, in Tamil Nadu in India. We, in fact, take pride
with the clock. The clock is made from the finest woods and the pendulum is
made of light metal. It is a giant clock with a height of around six feet. This is an
amazing clock and the clock body looks beautiful for its natural colour. The
clock body weights around 15 pounds. Besides the body is burnished once in a
year and thus it always looks glossy. Moreover, the
visitors of our house also
praise the clock. The wood that has been used to make the clock is still in its
finest state and there are no damages found on the inner or outer parts of the
body. However, the inside mechanisms have been repaired several times as
the clock stopped working.
My family believes in traditions. The grand clock is also a symbol of tradition to
us. Consequently, the family has been preserving the clock.
Before the death of
my great grandfather, he assigned my grandfather for preserving the clock
after his absence. So, my grandfather had preserved the clock and similarly
made my father responsible for the protection of the clock. As part of the
legacy, the antique clock is now at our home. I think the clock’s responsibility
would come upon me as I am the only son among the
three children of my
parents. Preserving the clock is not a big deal. It requires an annual servicing
and the servicing cost is also at the minimal level.
