Linda lives alone in London, with her wonderful collection. She has been collecting all the royal mementoes since 1960 when she saw the wedding of Princess Margaret on TV. The first things she bought were a disk with the Queen’s head in the centre, and a few Coronation mugs to go with it. And now she has a huge range of things: pictures, paintings, ashtrays, hundreds of mugs, tea-pots, tea-cloths, biscuit tins, posters, books, flags, toast racks, egg cups, candle sticks and so on. In fact, she has over four thousand Royal souvenirs. It takes all her spare time to keep everything clean and dusted. She is often playing around, making a special area for one of the Royals. It keeps her amused for hours, and the visitors who come, mainly foreign visitors, never get tired of talking about her Royal family. It is not always easy for Linda to collect the things she really wants. Once she was in a shop and the shop keeper was drinking his tea from a lovely Coronation mug. She offered to buy it from him but he was not interested. So she went out to a shop nearby and bought a very expensive mug and exchanged it for his Coronation mug. She just wanted to put the mug in its proper home.

Answer
Mv hobby is reading. I read story books, magazines, newspapers and any kinds of material that I find interesting. I started reading when I was a little girl. I used to ask my father to read fairy tales. Then I learned to read. At first, I read simple books, then stories. Now I read everything. I love reading novels. Even I can read short stories in English, especially I'm interested in reading funny stories. Through reading, I can learn about many things: how people live, how things go on everywhere in the world. Books provide me necessary information and fact. I don't have to learn things the hard way, books have certainly helped me so much in my daily life. Books would be my lifelong friends. I would never stop reading them in my life.
