Part 2 (Long Turn / Cue Card)

Describe an interesting conversation you had with someone. You should say:

 who you had the conversation with

 when and where you had it

 what the conversation was about

 and explain why you think it was interesting.

A few months ago, I had an interesting conversation with my grandfather. We were sitting in the garden at his house. He told me stories about his life when he was young and how things were so different back then. It was interesting because I learned a lot about my family’s history and how people lived without technology. It made me appreciate my grandparents even more.
