Guidelines
Writing:
My hobby is collecting stamps, ....
I have been collecting both local stamps and foreign stamps for more than 5 years so I have a great collection now.
My hobby got started/ started when I was a little boy. I had always wanted the beautiful pictures on the stamps so I thought of a way to keep them. At first I only collected local stamps which I got from the letters of my friends and relatives. Then my relatives went abroad so my collection of foreign stamps started to increase.
Now I have two albums, one for local and the other for foreign ones. I classify the stamps into categories before putting stamps into my stamp albums. I put stamps of animals, flowers, birds, landscape,... on different pages, which makes it easier to 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 valuable ones.
I’m 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.
I plan to join the stamp exhibitions to learn from experienced stamps collectors and maybe I can expose my collection at an exhibition in the future.
