            My hobby is collecting stamps. I started collect stamps when I was five years old. My grandfather sent me a letter from Canada, and I really liked the stamp. I began collect more and more stamps, and soon I have more than 100! Last week, I read a book about collecting stamps, and I see a picture of a beautiful stamp that was worth over $100! This hobby is very interesting, so I don’t think I will ever quit collect stamps.
