Speaker 1

M: male, teens, mild US accent

* As a kid, my granddad bought me a subscription to my favourite comic. He saw how absorbedI’d get in it and so he paid for me to receive an issue every week. I never threw any away, sosoon built up an impressive collection. Eventually I out-grew it, but didn’t give up the subscriptionbecause I’d loved the comic for so long. And I wanted to carry on supporting those who produced it – a small company which printed other interesting stuff. Perhaps my collection will be worthsomething one day.*

F: female, teens

* I collect small figures of film characters. I’m really into science fiction and have all kinds of weirdand wonderful monsters and aliens. I write my own science-fiction stories and have had one ortwo published, and although I have to be careful not to let the collection influence me too much– you’ve got to be original when you’re writing – looking at them does get my creativity flowing.Sometimes I lose concentration as I get so lost in my ideas, and I have to bring myself back downto Earth!*

Speaker 3

M: male, 20

* When I was five, my parents took me to a football match and since then, I’ve kept everyprogramme from every match I’ve been to – they’re the booklets you get with the players’ namesand information about them. I find them very motivating and one day I hope to play for a bigclub. I’ve also got a football signed by the team I support – I won the chance to meet them in acompetition, and that gave me the opportunity to ask them about improving my game.*

Speaker 4

F: female, teens, mild Australian accent

* I make model planes. Maybe that’s not exactly the same as collecting but I keep everything I makeand hang the planes from my ceiling as if they’re flying around. I’ve done at least twenty now. I’venever been the best at concentrating on something and sticking with it, and my mum thought thiswould help me. It worked, and I can spend ages building and painting my planes. I don’t knowmuch about the physics of flying and I’m not that interested, but I do love my hobby.*

Speaker 5

M: male, teens

* When I was a child, I collected a few shells from the beach and ever since then, my friendsand family have been giving me bits and pieces they’ve come across which they thought I’d like.Nothing’s really of any value, but I really love my collection of unusual stones, feathers and otherthings. All my friends seem to be as fascinated as I am with my little collection. One of them evenwrote an article about it for our school magazine.*

Speaker 6

F: female, teens, mild US accent

* I remember sitting on my grandma’s knee as a child and looking at family photo albums. I wasfascinated by all these people from the past who I take after. Perhaps that’s why I enjoy learningabout things from the past so much. Grandma gave me the albums and ever since I’ve beenasking other family members to add to my collection. I spend hours looking at the fascinatingclothes the people in the photos are wearing, and I love finding out about what life was like forthem.*
