Victor's hobby was collecting stamps. He had stamps from many countries, like

England, Canada and

China. On his birthday, can you guess what people gave him? That's right---stamps.

Victor's favorite stamps came from France. He had almost every stamp from

1954 to 2004. He

only needed one. That was a 1974 special edition. It was very hard to find.

He looked for it everywhere. He asked his friends and relatives to help

nobody could find the

stamp. It made Victor very sad.

"Don't worry. Never give up," his father said to him. "If you have enough

patience, you'll find it one

day."

"I hope so," Victor said.

Victor also liked writing. He had a pen friend in France. They wrote to each other

every month.

Victor's pen friend, Phillip, usually used new stamps to send letters. Sometimes, his

mother gave him stamps

to use. Once Phillip's mother gave him a big, green stamp. It looked old. When Victor

received the letter,

he

was very surprised. On the envelope, he looked carefully at the stamp. It was the 1974

special edition

stamp. Victor was so happy. He told his sister, his mother and his father. " You see,"

his father said. "You

did find your stamp. So, it's good to have two things in life."

"What are they?" Victor asked.

" Friends and patience." He answered.

My Hobby

Hello, my friends. Do you want to know about me? Now, Please listen, this is me.

My favorite hobby is to sing. I began to sing songs when I was very young. When I

was 7 years old, my mom found that I had a good voice, so she sent me to the

Children’s Palace to study music. I won awards one after another in many competition.

And I like dancing, too. But I can’t do it well. I often dance for my parents at home.

My dream is becoming a famous singer. If I couldn’t become a singer, I will still take

singing as my hobby. When I sing a song, I will get good and very pleasant feelings,

and a good chance to telex. I think the best thing in life is sitting in the sunshine,

listening to the music and singing along with the singer. Hobbies can make someone

happy, so we all have the hobby of ourselves. Do you agree with me?
