My favorite hobby

7 

    When I went to school,I got acquaitence with books.since then,I get used to reading,and now reading is my favorite hobby. Reading is becoming? my best friend in all life.

    So much time I have paid for reading,and I get the rewarding so much both for work and daily life.I am accumulating my knowledge day by day,year in year out,and I am so happy by the new discovery in the reading.

    I have spent so much money on books.It is worth my doing.I have no regrets,no pity,although I have not gotten so much money back by reading.By virtue of reading, I know who I am,and know how to act on my belief. And that is enough to me.

    Thanks a lot to reading,my kind appreciation to the books,and I am keeping on reading.
Reading is my loyal friend all my life,both happy or bitter.

An E-mail to Mike

DearMike,

    I want to tell you about my hobby. I collect kites . I’ve been collecting them for four years, and I have 123 of them now. I collect them because they are beautiful and interesting. I have a kite with the face of Monkey King, which is a present from China. And I have some kites likebutterflies. They are just like real animals in the sky. Every sunny Saturday I’ll go and fly one of them. They bring me so much fun. If you know anyone else who collects them, please tell me. I’d like to make friends with them.

Yours
Bob

How to Collect Stamps

9 

Dear Tom,
    I'm very glad to know you are interested in stamps and are starting to collect them now.You are asking for advice on stamp-collecting.I think first you should collect as many stamps as you can and trade the stamps you don't want with other people. I don't think you should collect the envelope unless it is unusual or it is a“first day cover”. Then you have to decide whether you want to collect a certain kind of stamp, such as stamps with a bird design. You'd better join a group. Other people will help you learn more about stamps and they will soon trade stamps with you. Have you thought of going to stamp sales and buy whatever you can afford? But at the beginning, you should buy used stamps.
    Stamp-collecting is fun and you may enjoy the unusual and beautiful designs of stamps.
    Good luck!

Love,
uncle fred
