My name is Sergey. I’m thirteen years old. Everybody must have an ardour for something or an activity he likes to do in a free time. My hobby is collecting stamps. In the childhood my father collected stamps too. I liked his collection very much and I decided to carry on the tradition. My father helped me to begin collecting stamps. He had several repeated stamps and he gave me them. Also my grandmother found several old envelopes and gave me the stamps. I joined a club of stamp collectors and made new friends who have the same hobby. Now I can exchange stamps and discuss our collections. All my stamps are kept in the special albums. They are divided into different themes. I have a lot of stamps with images of flowers, plants and famous people. I like my hobby.
