popular hobbies among children. Children can enjoy this pastime
because it is not an expensive hobby.

I started collecting stamps since I was in primary school. My hobby
began to influence some of my classmates who started sharing the same
hobby with me. I got my father, relatives and friends for letters with
stamps and started keeping them in a box. One day I bought my first
stamp album with my pocket money that I saved and then I also started
exchanging stamps with my classmates. After a few years of collecting,
now I have got a rather large collection of stamps.
I myself find collecting stamps interesting and helpful because this
hobby helps me understand history, geography or even biology better.
That's why I love collecting stamps, and I will go on to enrich my
collection.

Model 2: My hobby is collecting stamps. It is an easy and cheap hobby. It is
also very useful and interesting as well.
I started collecting stamps five years ago. Now I have both local and foreign
stamps. My father helps me with my hobby. He brings me stamps from the
letters he receives from his friends in many different countries. When I get
more stamps with the same kind. I exchange them with my friends for new
ones. I have two stamp albums now with about 500 stamps. The stamps are in
different shapes. Some are square while others are triangular and rectangular.
We can learn many things about the customs and cultures of other countries
through stamps. There are pictures of great persons, animals, birds, buildings
and vehicles on stamps.
I always spend my free time classifying, arranging them and taking notes the
origins of the stamps. And I am going to make my collection larger and larger.

Model 3: My hobby is collecting stamps. I feel that my life becomes more meaningful when I
have a collection of stamps.
I have been collecting stamps for more than 5 years so I have a great collection now. My hobby
got started when I was a little girl. I have always wanted the beautiful pictures on the stamps so
I have always kept them whenever I receive a letter from my friends and relatives. At first I
collected only local stamps. Some of my relatives went abroad, then my foreign stamps
gradually increased. Now I have two albums, one for local and the other for foreign ones. I
classify the stamps into categories before putting them into my stamp albums: animals, flowers,
birds, landscape, heroes…, each kind on different pages, which makes me more easily look for
them. When I have extra stamps of the same kind I often exchange them with my friends to
enrich my collection. If I have money, I also go to the post office to buy some valuables ones.
I am very proud of my collection. It helps to broaden my knowledge about the world around
me and it is also an effective way to improve my geography, biology and history.
I plan to join the stamp exhibitions to learn from experienced stamp collectors and maybe I can
expose my collection at an exhibition in the future.

Model 4: A hobby is an interesting means of spending leisure time.
Most people have a hobby, so do I. People may have different hobbies
such as listening to music, singing, dancing, photography, reading,
playing games, etc. I take great pleasure in stamp collecting.
My hobby started two years ago when a friend of mine showed his
stamp collection to me. At first I collect every stamp I get from postal
envelopes which I receive. Later my father gives me more. I also
exchange stamps with my friends. My uncle who lives in Australia
sends me stamps as well. Little by little my collection grows larger.
Now I have two albums. I think I have about 300 stamps of all kinds:
celebrities, landscapes, animals, plants, events, etc.
Stamp collecting is an interesting hobby and is quite popular among
many people today. I love to show the new stamps to my grandfather.
He loves stamps too.
