Collecting Stamps Is My Hobby

Everybody has his hobby, such as singing, dancing, photo-taking, drawing, reading or guitar playing. My hobby is collecting stamps. Why? Because my favourite hobby gives me a lot of pleasure, and I can learn a lot about geography and history from stamps.

I have already collected about 800 stamps since I was in Grade Two. Yesterday my uncle sent me a beautiful Canadian stamp from Montreal. I was too excited to sleep last night.
