I have a small(,) lovely blue hat. It looks(is - because you say "a bit .. style", these are already adding the desired effect of "looking like", if you add "looks" as well, it sounds a bit too "uncertain") a bit pupil(school-girl is better here, more used in relation to clothing. Pupil is usually used when talking formally in a school-context) style, but I like it very much:D I thought I bought it myself 4-5 years ago, but my mother told me that it was a gift from my aunt, my mother(')s elder sister, and........She gave it to me when I was 3 years old...lOl. No wonder it feels (like=delete) small (to me=delete no need to add "to me, if you say it feels small, people would know that it is to you), my head is bigger than that (of a) 3-year-old girl.
I'm afraid this hat is the only clothing that I've been keeping(kept is better, because when we use "been keeping" it is like there has been a change now - like, "I have been keeping all my clothes for 15 years, but now I threw it all out) for more than 15 years! For most people, most things(,) especially clothing(clothes)(,) could be(are) no longer attractive after they are bought from the store, except things that people have some personal attachment with(to).
It is hard to tell whether I had (a) personal attachment with(to) this hat when I was 3 years old, at that time I was just a kid and knew nothing (about anything) but playing. I think it just (so) happened that my mother put it (up=delete, she didn't put it on the wall or on high shelves, did she?) in my room and I just found it by chance when I grew up.It was lovely.(It was a lovely moment/It was a lovely hat?)
I think this hat will still be with me tens of years from now on. Time change(s) everything but not me and my hat:D

I like that you labelled it "hat" ;-)
ReplyDeleteI also like your hat, I think it is lovely to have some things which go with you throughout life. I think things are generally not important, but sometimes it can also make me happy to look at some object that I have had in Denmark, China and now Sweden - like the socks my grandmother in Belgium has knitted for me :-)
hehehe Eva, I didn't think my teacher ever told me that "have been doing" means there has been a change now, that's why I mixed "have done" and "have been doing" hahaha now it is clear! tack tack!
ReplyDeletehihi can you re-write the right sentence " I was just a kid and knew nothing (about anything) but playing" I don't understand, "knew about anything but playing"?
ReplyDeleteYes - I knew nothing about anything but playing.. Knew nothing but playing seems a little too bare. I think if you say I knew nothing about anything other than/but playing it sounds more clear what you are saying :-)
