Most hobbies are done by both men and women. Many people collect something such as stamps, napkins, coins, postcards or old records. Some rich people collect old cars and renew them or collect antique or folk-art pieces. A good hobby can be studying something, for example languages, or astronomy, or any other science. These people collect books and special equipment to do their hobbies.
