Model 1: My hobby is collecting stamps It is also one of the most 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.

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.

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 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.

Model 4: A hobby is an interesting means of spending leisure time Most people have a hobby, so 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
