3. Post-reading: Discussion

*. What a pity! I have never had any collection because I don’t have time to take care of it.
Have you ever collected something as a hobby? If yes, what is it? If no, why not?
For example:
*. When I was a kid, I had a great collection of shells because I often went to the beach in the summer.
*. I have had a collection of pictures of birds because I love the color of nature.
AND HAVE A GOOD DAY!
