Model Answer 2:
Samuel is my cousin and younger than me for two years. He loves collecting 
stamps. In fact, he is highly obsessed with the stamp collection issue. So far, he 
has gathered a huge number of stamps of various countries.
Samuel is fond of stamps and has made a book to place the stamps. The stamp 
book is enriched with different types of stamps. Sometimes he buys the 
stamps from the local library and sometimes, some of our relatives bring 
stamps for him when they return from abroad. He also exchanges the stamps 
with his friends when he has extra stamps. But he always tries to enrich his 
stamp collection by some other means as well.
He is careful about storing of the stamps. He has bought a medium-sized nice 
book for this purpose. The book comes with small pockets and spaces to

preserve the stamps. The pockets are made with plastic and attached with the 
book by sewing so that they do not get removed. The pockets are also made of 
transparent plastic so that the stamp becomes visible when the book is 
opened. Before getting the book, Samuel used to keep the stamps in a small 
box. But it was trouble for him to get the box in the right time. He was unable 
to find it when he needed the box most.
The stamp collection took the time to grow. He has been collecting stamps 
since his seventh grade and now he is a college student. He has collected 
stamps of around 110 countries. He had to undergo several obstacles in this 
process. Though he asked our other relatives to bring stamps for him, often 
they forgot to bring owing their business. So, he had to wait for their next visit 
though there were not preset schedules whether they will visit the same 
country again or not. Further, he also experienced theft in his collection. Some 
of his friends stole a notable number of stamps when he took the book on his 
school to show them his collection. But now everything is under control and he 
is doing fine with the collection process.
Stamp collection is really a matter of patience and perseverance. If you are 
impatient, you would be unable to collect the stamps. Moreover, you may 
need to wait for months to get the stamp of any specific country. The stamps 
may not be available always. So, it appears that everyone is not passionate to 
collect stamps. In fact, this the job for a gentleman. Someone with a short 
temper cannot be a stamp collector. You have to invest time on searching the 
stamp, collect then and preserve them in the right manner. Being impatient, 
you might give up collecting stamps thinking that this is not your job.
