People have a natural interest in collecting things. Stamps may be one of the most popular collections as

covered with traditional masks from South Africa and many other places. When they are on a trip they just look for
a mask to add to their collection.
Some collections are gifts. I know a man. He gives his mother a plate made in China every Mother’s Day.
He visits many stores for weeks to find a plate that he didn’t purchase before. His mother is very happy and she
has more than twenty plates in her collection now.
Learning new things can be a main reason behind a collection. Alan is my friend. He is 35 years old. He
began collecting things about wars when he was 15 years old. He has maps, books, flags and photos about wars.
His collections help him learn a lot about army history.
Some people collect things because of their value (价值). I worked with a woman two years ago. She
collected Barbie dolls. She said some day she would sell her collection and make lots of money.
Collections can help us remember great things and important people in our life. If you’re not a collector, why not be
