Have you ever collected anything?
Yes, coins.
What do or did you collect?
After collecting the coins I collect it in a piggy bank.
Why did you start?
I started when I found a coin by chance.
Are you still a keen collector?
It all depends on the situation.
How many items have you got in your collection?
I have no collection of articles.
Are there any other keen collectors in your family?
I have no collectors in my family.

There are no people collecting things in my family. In fact, I don't really know any collectors.

A woman in Bogota collects miniature dishes. She has about 200 sets of dishes stored in a cabinet in the living room of her house. Her favorite crockery is a white one that her mother gave her years ago. She likes the details and the patience that the person who did it should have.

When I was very young I collected stamps; I picked up the envelopes of the letters. In the seventies many letters came to our house because my family had a business. I remember the colors and shapes of the stamps, some very beautiful, of cities. I have always looked for them but I do not remember where they are.

I have started some collect, but I quickly abandon. For exemple, I have collect sugar's envelopes; fridge magnets and restaurants cards, I supose because I love to travel and to eat. My older son is a big fan of Game of thrones and he collect little dolls of Game of thones.

Hi Dolors, you lost the collection? What a pity! Stamps can be very beautiful - miniature works of art.
Can I help?
picked up the envelopes of the letters.= Picked up is not possible here. Maybe you can say: I got the stamps from envelopes.

See you!
