Paragraph 1

My hobby is collecting stamps. I started to collect stamps 6 years ago. I have been collecting both local stamps and foreign stamps from the letters of friends and relatives. I classify the stamps into categories. I put stamps of animals, flowers, birds... on different pages. I keep them in two albums, one for local and the other for foreign ones. Collecting stamps helps me to broaden my knowledge about the world around me and it is also an effective way to be a good geography. I plan the stamp exhibitions to learn from experienced stamp collectors and I can expose my collection at an exhibition in the future.

Paragraph 2

At the moment I am collecting dolls and teddy bears. I like to collect them as they give me a great feeling to the memorable days of my childhood. I can never forget the day when it happened to me on my six-year old celabration's day. I was upset at that time because my parents have gone away for a business trip and I stayed at home with my grandmother. However, it was a big surprise to me that they came back the moment. They appeared with a huge present in their hands and gave me a Snow White doll. From that day onward, I started loving to collect dolls and up to now, I have got as many as a thousand dolls including teddy bears, mostly I collected them from the internet. My dream for the future is to open a gift's shop with all kind of dolls and bears. Hopefully it comes true in the near future.

Paragraph 3

My hobby is collecting stamps. Collecting stamps helps to broaden my knowledge about the world around me and it is also an effective way to be good at geography. My stamp collection began when I was 11 years old. At that time I just collected the stamps from discarded envelops that my relative and my friends gave me. I love the pictures and the information in these stamps. I often keep the less common inside a small album and give the common ones to others. I keep the collection for myself and show it to my friends who are also interested in collecting stamps. I think I will continue to make my collection richer and richer.
