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.
