As far as I am concerned, my hobby is collecting magazine cards about characters in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I have been collecting magazine cards for 2 years and now I have about 50 cards. They are about different figures in this famous novel of China.I like collecting history magazine cards, because it teaches me history knowledge. When I was collecting and putting them in order, I felt happy. When I got a new one, I felt excited. When I was showing them to my friend and talking about them with my parents, I had a feeling of success. It’s wonderful and fun. Besides, in order to collect more cards, I often ask people if they have history magazine cards and make new friends with them. It’s often the topic when I begin a conversation with others. Miss/Sir, What is your hobby?How I started collecting themLast year, I subscribed a history magazine named History Study at school. When I was reading it, to my surprise, I found some pictures of cartoon figures in Three Kingdoms. I used to be interested in this classical book of China, so I went to pick up the scissors to cut the pictures down, then put them up on a booklet. Next month, I also found new pictures in this magazine. So, little by little, I collected more and more figures. Now, I have collected more than fifty cards. You know, I used to be a shy girl. When I began to collect these cards, in order to get more or exchange cards with them, I need to talk with others. I think I am not shy any more.There are two reasons why I began to collect them. First, I think these cartoon cards are very colorful and attractive. They make those figures cute and vivid. So they are popular with kids. second, I like the short story in the card. It can tell me the figure’s personality and life.Miss/Sir, do you think they are interesting?When, where, with whom I exchange my cardsNot only I, but some of my classmates have the cards. So, in order to get more different cards, we need to exchange them. we make a date to share our cards every month. Usually, if we have spare time, at the end of each month, we will find a nearby park to exchange cards and communicate with each other. I like this date, because I think it’s interesting and meaningful. When we were talking about the stories of ourfigures, we could help each other to widen our knowledge. Besides, we can share the same interest in history.My favorite character in Three KingdomsOf all the characters I collected, I like Guanyu best. Guan Yu was a general serving under Liu Bei during Three Kingdoms era of China. He played a significant role in the civil war. As one of the best known Chinese historical figures, Guan Yu is respected as the person of loyalty and righteousness. But he also had weaknesses, for example, he was conceited and careless, so he was defeated in Maicheng and killed by Sunquan.Miss/Sir, who is your favorite character or figure in Three KingdomsA story of Guan YuMy favorite story is slaying Huaxiong before the drink get cold.There was a war between Yuanshao and Dongzhuo. Dongzhuo had a famous general named Huaxiong. He killed many soldiers of Yuanshao. When Yuanshao was worried and didn’t know how to deal with i t, his stableman named Guan Yu said, I can fight Huaxiong. Before setting out, Yuanshao gave Guan Yu a cup of hot wine to wish his victory. But Guan Yu said, when I come back, I will drink it. Soon, he killed Huaxiong and came back. The cup of wine was still hot. From this story, we know Guan Yu was very brave and calm. He was a man of great ability.What I learn from my hobbyLike collecting stamps, collecting history cards has a lot of advantages. I think I learn a lot from my hobby. First, it enriches my knowledge and broadens my vision. From the picture of my cards, I see the history, and the stories of figures. Second, when I was appreciating the beautiful paintings and color, I increased my ability of art. I used to hate drawing, but now I began to be interested in it because of my hobby. Third, it is good for my study at school. For example, when we were learning Lesson 4 of our Chinese book, which was about Zhugeliang in his childhood, my Chinese teacher asked us to write a composition about any figure in Three kingdoms. I finished my composition quickly and got my teacher’s praise.What I will do about my hobbyI used to think it’s a pity few people collected cards. But recently when I was surfing Internet I knew some people were collecting all kinds of cards about history figures like me. It’s a good news for me. Perhaps in the future I will exchange cards that I don’t need with other people. If I have time, I can talk with them and I might learn more about history magazine cards from other people. In order to make new friends, I will read more books to get information about my cards. I think it must be fun to share cards with them.I also know some people collect card for wealth and investment. They hope to get more money from the cards. As far as I’m concerned, I do not argee it. In order to get money from this, this hobby will not interesting.（转金钱）。
