I have many hobbies. I like playing basketball, watching TV, playing computer games. But my favourite hobby is collecting postal stamps. When I buy my stamps, I usually ride a bike to do it or run to the Post Office or special shops and buy my stamps there. When I get my stamps, I will trade with some of my friends and my brother. We also put them into stamp cases. I started this hobby in the summer of 2001. My best friend got me interested in stamps collecting. Whenever I went over to his house, he had his cards out and we looked at them. He has a huge and very interesting collection of stamps. I usually spend around 20-30 grivnas to buy some stamps every month. I like doing this hobby, because I like trying to get the stamps that are worth a lot of money. I also like stamps that have pictures of animals and birds. I like flora and fauna stamps. It shows how diverse the Earth life is.
