in my collection. They come from all over the world. I first grew interested in stamps, but
when people gave me postcards with stamps on them, I started collecting them, too. It is
easy to go from stamps to banknotes. Of course, they are only the smallest notes or my
hobby would cost too much! I also keep bus, train and air tickets. Most of them are from
China. I keep my collections in special books. As a result of my hobby, I know a lot about
geography and foreign countries.

I am not much of a collector. I collect photos of special times in my life, and I have a big collection of soft toys
— dogs, cats, rabbits, bears, elephants and so on.
Most people collect things at some time in their life. Who hasn’t got a collection of photos, or books? Many
people collect the letters or emails they’ve got from friends. And most children have a good toy collection. Most
people don’t think of themselves as “collectors” because they think that having a lot of photos or toys is part of life.
However, some people love collecting things as a hobby, and you can collect anything. In fact, some people have
unusual collections.
For example, Robert Opie collects things we usually throw away, like old newspapers, sweet papers and boxes.
He has more than a quarter of a million things in his collection and you can find some of them in his own museum
in Gloucester, UK.
When Stuart Graham from Sydney, Australia died aged 87, his son Andy found Stuart was a crazy(狂热的)
collector. He found a collection of over 5,000 old bus tickets, 3,000 old matchboxes and 1,000 toy soldiers. Andy
didn’t want to keep them and decided to look on the Internet to see if anyone else would like the collections. He
was surprised to find out that his father’s collections were very valuable(宝贵的). After he sold them, he bought a
new car with the money.
Collectors collect things in different ways. You can go to shops to buy things for your collection, or you can buy
collectors’ magazines. You can even look on the Internet. Or you can exchange( 交换) things you have for
something else that you would like to have.
