answers from some students.

interest in rocks when I was eight years old.My
dad took me to the mountains a lot and I brought
home the rocks I found.I feel there is something
magical about them.And I like touching them and
looking at them.For me,the value (价值) of the
rocks is less important.
Mike
My collection is a little special because I
didn't really start it.My uncle decided to move to a
different country and he gave away a lot of things.
He gave me an album with stamps. It is big and
very interesting. I love to check and learn about
stamps from different times and countries.For me,

have bought some new stamps.
