WHY HAVE YOU CHOSEN THIS HOBBY

69. Why have you chosen this hobby? ( 7 - 8 )

First of all, when you collect stamps, you are able to learn more about the world, and

you will not be bored easily. What I mean to say is that you can get stamps from every

country in the world, and the stamps often say something about that country and its

people. Secondly, you are able to meet new friends through your hobby. For instance,

you have a common interest with someone else, and you can discuss your collections

together for many hours. Lastly, the hobby will teach you some self-discipline and how

to be very systematic. That is to say, you have to tend to your collection regularly, and

you have to sort the stamps according to internationally recognized systems.
