Stamp-collecting is a very interesting and useful hobby. You can learn many things about geography and history from stamps. Today more people collect stamps than ever before, and special (特别的) stamps are often printed (印刷) for these people.
If you buy a new stamp and put it on an envelope (信封) on the first day it is sold, the envelope may be worth a lot of money in the future. Many stamps collectors go to the post office when new stamps are being sold. They put the new stamp on an envelope and then post the envelope to themselves.
The number of stamp-collecting is now bigger in most countries than the collected number (数量) of trains and cars. People all over the world like collecting stamps. Indeed, some doctors say that everybody likes collecting something. Some children like collecting the tops of match-boxes and others enjoy collecting coins. Collecting painting is a hobby of many rich men, but they often do this to make money. They keep the painting for a short time and then sell it at a much higher price (价格). We, of course, don't want to do like that. We collect stamps for pleasure. We don't want to make money with them.
