My hobby is collectingstickers (贴画). It is also one of themost popular hobbies among children. Children enjoy this pastime (消遣) because it is not an expensive hobby.

I have startedcollecting stickers since I was four years old. My hobby began through the influenceof my neighbour, Wilfred. One day when I was playing in his house, he showed mehis stacks of sticker albums (专辑). I wasamazed to see so many colourful stickers of all shapes and sizes. He gave me afew pieces from his collection. My interest in stickers started from that day.

I kept my first set ofstickers in a notebook but mysubsequent collections were kept inbeautiful boxes. By keeping the stickers in boxes. I can exchange some of mystickers with my friends.

After my familymembers knew my hobby of collecting stickers, they began to buy stickers for mewhenever they came across nice ones. I love those stickers from my cousin whois an air hostess. She bought them from different countries around the world.

During my free time, Joften bring out all my lovely collections, lay them on the ground and enjoythem. Some of my friends are jealous of my collections as I don't exchange myunique (独一无二的) stickers with them.
