Question

【题目】 Hobbies should be an important part of everyone's life. Today, we’re going to talk about one of the oldest and most popular hobbies: collecting. Want to start your own collection? Here are the ways.

__________

First, you have to decide what you’re going to collect. It’s okay to pick something that simply interests you. If you love reading, books are a great choice.

__________

You need to start with usual and cheap pieces, and they will build your collection’s foundation (基础). As you’re doing your homework (see below), you’ll come to know those pieces. Think of it like a pyramid(金字塔)—- there has to be a foundation before you can move up into better pieces.

__________

Before collecting, do some research on what you’re collecting. Of course there are collectors like you. So get on the website, ask them questions and find out where to start.

__________

It’s easy for many starters to spend a lot of money, end up with many things, and finally lose interest. The beauty of having a collection is that it should be something you can make into a “career—beginning as a young man and continuing through retirement (退休)”. Make it a goal to add just a few pieces to your collection per year.
