Рассказ о своей коллекции на английском языке

Myfavourite hobby is collecting stamps.It’s important to mention that in fact mymother began collecting them when I was a child. When I turned ten shepresented me the three albums she had already collected. Since that time Iadded two more, so that now I have got a bigger collection than any of myfriends.I get my stamps in different ways. Irarely buy them in shops. My father who often travels abroad on business tripsbrings me stamps from different parts of the world. I also have got pen-friendsin foreign countries and they send me stamps in return for the ones I send tothem.I really love my hobby. It’s so pleasantto sit at a table in the evening with my albums arranging the new stamps inthem, writing the names of the countries or, if I’m too tired, just lookingthrough them. Each stamp has a story to tell about distant countries and famouspeople. I see pictures of men and women, birds and animals I have never heardof before.  Kings and presidents pass before my eyes and I can follow thehistory of whole nations. Besides, some of the stamps are of great value asthey are very difficult to find.In conclusion I want to say that my stampcollection is my treasure. I hope one day I’ll be able to pass my hobby on tomy younger brother. I think it’s a very good way of getting him interested insuch subjects as history, geography and languages.
