Many people have hobbies. People spend a lot of time and money on their hobby and for some it is even a job. The
more usual hobbies are things like coin collecting, but there are many more unusual hobbies, too. One English man,
Tom Holmes, collects ties. He started this hobby over seventy years ago. He even receives one tie a year on his
birthday from the British Prime Minister. These ties are from all over the world and you can see his collection in a
local museum near Birmingham, England. Kari Hansen also collects things. She collects anything she finds on the
beach near her home in Norway. The most expensive thing she found was a piece of metal jewelry. This was over
2,500 years old. She keeps her collection in a garage, but now she needs a bigger space. Next year she is going to
buy another garage. Another strange but popular hobby is ‘toy travelling’. This is when people photograph a toy,
such as a teddy bear, in front of famous monuments in their country or abroad. Then, these people write about the
toy’s experiences on social media as it travels to many different places.

1. The article is about people who collect unusual things. T F

3. Tom started collecting ties a few years ago. T F
