went abroad so many collection of foreign stamps started to
increase.
Now I have two albums, one for local and the other for
foreign ones. I classify the stamps into categories before
putting them into my stamp album. I put stamps of animals,
flowers, birds, landscape, heroes on different pages, which
makes ie easier to look for them.
When I have extra stamps of the same kind I often exchange
then with my friendss to enrich my collection. If I have money,
I also go to the post office to buy some valuables ones.
I am very proud of my collection. It helps to broaden my

knowledge about the world around me and it is also an
effective way to improve my geography.
I plan to join the stamp exhibitions to learn from experienced
stamp collectoras and maybe I can expose my collection at an
exhibition in the future.
