W: When did you become interested in collecting stamps?
M: (6) Oh, when I was about ten years old.
W: Ten years old? So you have loved it for 9 years.
M: Yeah. it’s really an exciting hobby. You know. the first postage stamps were issued in Britain in 1840.
W: Really? I didn’t know that. What’s on the first postage stamps?
M: Well, look, here’s a picture of the first two stamps issued.
W: (7) Oh, they both bear a picture of Queen Victoria, don’t they?
M: Yes, I wish I had the originals, then I would be a wealthy man instead of a poor stamp collector.
W: But I believe collecting stamps gives you much pleasure which not all wealthy men can enjoy.
M: Yes. I do agree.
