Приветствуем вас в третьем выпуске рассылки "Комплексное изучение английского языка". Сегодня в выпуске: разделы "Info, Facts", "Writing" и "Your Homework".

Info, Facts: Hobbies - Collecting dolls

В этом разделе мы будем публиковать интересные или малоизвестные факты. Тема сегодняшнего выпуска - Hobbies - Collecting dolls.

One of the most famous doll fans was Queen Victoria. She had a right royal collection of more than 100 dolls. Today, collecting dolls is big business, with some antique dolls selling for tens of thousands of pounds at auctions. Many collectors specialize in dolls from a particular country, period or manufacturer. If you fancy starting a collection yourself, remember to keep only dolls that are complete and undamaged. And always save the labels and boxes that they come in, because these make your doll more valuable. Your parents and grandparents may have dolls that they played with when they were children. Remember, your doll may be more than just a pretty face - it might even be a valuable antique.
