FROM SIMON, CONTINUED:
Here are some possible correct versions: 
1) There are a lot of things that people often collect. 
2) I think people often collect small things such as stamps. 
2) Whenever I went on vacation, I used the opportunity to buy another object. 
3) Let me think. Maybe I would collect expensive watches, which become more valuable over time. 
5) People collect things for many reasons. For example, they do it as a hobby.

IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'collecting' answers 
Here are my sample answers to the questions from last week. 
1) Have you ever collected anything as a hobby? (What?)
Yes. When I was younger I used to collect keyrings. I remember that my favourite was a Lego man 
keyring that someone bought me as a present. 
2) What kinds of thing do people often like collecting?

Some people collect cheap items like stamps, keyrings or toys. Others collect expensive antiques, 
watches, jewellery or even cars. 
3) Why do you think people collect certain objects?
Maybe they like the constant search for a new item, or they want to remember past experiences. 
Others might like the feeling of organising and presenting what they own. 
4) Is there anything that you would like to collect in the future?
Yes. If I could afford it, I'd love to have a collection of guitars in different colours, shapes and sizes!
