课件37张PPT。Unit 8 Collecting things
Reading Why do people collect things?Easier -- A collection is a group of things gathered or collected. A person is a collector when they brings items together into a group. People collect different things. People collect things for lots of reasons -- including that it is fun!
Harder -- Collecting is a great hobby because it can be different and unique for everyone. Each item has its own ''story''. In the process of collecting, you continue to learn. As you build any collection, you apply skills in identifying, selecting, discriminating, evaluating, classifying, and arranging items.
Those who view collecting as trivial or a
waste of time, miss the connections that it
has to life skills and occupations. Scientists
also collect things. They gather information,
data, and samples. Museums and libraries
are collections. Many people make their
livelihoods by collecting and disposing items.
In fact, all of us go through our lives
collecting and discarding things around us.What do people collect?There is no limit to what has been, or might be collected.
Some collections comprise everyday items that are easily
available, such as football programmers or badges. Others are determined by a particular
feature, for example, military items,
miniature toys, timber-framed buildings
or artifacts from a particular locality.
Some collections are of a more general
nature. Many provincial museums have
historical and environmental displays that
are of both local and national interest.
