My flat is beautiful and sunny. It has got five rooms. They are two bathrooms, a kitchen, a bedroom and a living room. The living room is big and cosy. There is a big TV, a sofa and two armchairs in it. My mum and I love sitting there watching TV.
My favourite room is a bedroom. It is smaller than the living room. But it is my favourite place because it is warm and comfortable. There is a bed and two cupboards. My bed is red. It looks like a real car. You can see a computer and a small TV in my bedroom. The room has got an aquarium.There are a lot of exotic fish in it. Every day I feed my fish and my mum helps me to clean my room. I like doing homework and playing in my room.
I like my flat!
The main reason why people collect coins, stamps, books etc. is uniqueness of every collection. Every subject has its own distinctive story, and it's tremendous. Moreover, in the process of collecting people apply skills in evaluating, classifying and arranging items.
As for me, I have my own collection of minerals. They fill a bulky closet in my room. Some of them I exchanged, some I bought and some are presents from my friends who know about my hobby. I do not want collecting something else - I am satisfied with my own unique collection.
But people in my country do not collect minerals only. For example, my friend has a huge collection of coins. It is really valuable - he even has a coin minted in 1925! As far as I know, Russian people also adore collecting weapon, posters, magazines, books and many other things.
All in all, collecting things is an exciting hobby for people of all ages. When people collect something, they improve patience and carefulness, find new friends who are collectors too.
