Some people play sports and others build models, but my hobby is collecting stamps. I love stamps because they are very beautiful. They can also teach me about the history and culture of different countries. I developed this hobby thanks to my grandpa. He is a stamp collector, and he owns thousands of stamps. Some of them are valuable, so he always handles them with great care. He even wears white gloves to protect his stamps! Every Sunday my grandpa adds new ones to his collection, and I sometimes help him take old stamps from envelopes and postcards. He likes to tell me interesting stories about the different stamps. It is almost like a history lesson. Let me show you an absolutely wonderful stamp of the Palace Museum. It is my favourite because it was my first one. My grandpa bought it for me. “They built these buildings hundreds of years ago. It may seem impossible, but they built them without using a single nail!” he explained. My grandpa also shared many other interesting bits of history about the old palace. Thanks to this stamp, I became interested in traditional Chinese buildings, and I started to collect similar stamps. Now I have over a hundred of them, and I am learning more and more about Chinese history and culture. Thank you for listening! Any questions Reading What’s the text type A. A poster. B. An email. C.
