Summary: Many people enjoy collecting antique things. People collect old-timey photos, old-fashioned hats, old tools, paintings, dishes, and farm equipment. Many collectors are also fond of handmade rocking chairs. Rocking chairs are sometimes quite ornate and beautiful. They are carved from wood, and rocking away in a squeaky rocking chair can be very soothing. It’s fun to imagine who else sat in those antique rocking chairs. A new mother may have knitted little stockings for her baby while sitting in that chair. An old farmer might have smoked his pipe while rocking and relaxing on his porch. Maybe, that’s the rocking chair that U.S. President John F. Kennedy used on Air Force One? Maybe, that rocking chair is where Thomas Edison got the idea for the light bulb? You never know. Romeo thinks rocking chairs might be making a comeback. Listen as he discusses rocking chairs with Andy in today’s English lesson. -- View this and other great English lessons at www.englishbaby.com
