“Why don’t you let us take away the sofa It’s too old!” Martina asked when the family were having supper. Grandpa shook his head and said, “I sat in this sofa with your grandma right here when I asked her to marry me. It was so long ago, but when I sit in this sofa and close my eyes, I feel she is near.”
“It’s amazing,” Martina thought, “how Grandpa can remember things from the past. These days he forgets almost everything.”
Grandpa once sat in the sofa with grandma and asked grandma to marry him.
It was such a happy, meaningful
and precious moment.
When grandpa forgot almost
everything, the old sofa could
remind him of the precious and
meaningful moments.

Grandpa was told by the doctor that grandma was ill.
What happened between Grandpa and the sofa
Grandpa felt so heartbroken, fearful,
concerned and lonely.
The old sofa always accompanied
him and gave him spiritual comfort.
The old sofa was more a kind of
spiritual comfort than a piece
of furniture.
Further thinking.

What did Martina understand
2. Why did Martina say “ This is not just an old sofa” at the end of the passage
He understood that why his grandpa
insisted on keeping the old sofa.
First, when grandpa forgot almost
everything, the old sofa could
remind him of the precious and
meaningful moments.
Second, the old sofa witnessed the
birth of Martina’s father with
grandpa. It could help preserve
unforgettable memories.
More importantly, when grandpa
felt heartbroken and concerned
because of grandma’s illness, the
old sofa always accompanied him, it
was more a kind of spiritual comfort
than a piece of furniture.
Can we say that keeping the old sofa has become a hobby of grandpa
