Lingling: Hi, everyone! Come in and find somewhere to sit down. Sorry, it’s a bit of a mess. I’ll put the fans on the shelf.
Betty: Let me have a look. You’ve got so Many fans.
Lingling: Yes, about sixty.
Betty: Where did you get them?
Lingling: Most of them are presents. People often give me fans as presents because they know I like them. Do you collect anything?
Betty: Yes, I collect coins and notes, you know, like British pounds and US dollars.
Lingling: Coins? They must be really valuable. Can I see them?
Betty: Sure! I’ll show you my stamps too. I’ve collected stamps from all over the world. I’ve got six or seven books of stamps.
Tony: My hobby doesn’t cost as much as yours—I collect tickets, bus tickets and train tickets!
Betty: You can’t do anything with old tickets!
Tony: I know, but when I look at them, I remember some wonderful places.
Lingling: Right! Their value isn’t always important. People also collect things just to remember
something important in their lives.
