Most people always like to collect things .For example, they like collecting stamps, pictures ...... But my friend Mr Clock likes collecting clocks. He has five hundred clocks now. There are clocks everywhere in his house. You can see shelves standing in every room. All the shelves are of clocks. Though Mr. Clock is glad to do this , his wife doesn’t enjoy it at all. She has a lot of work to do every day. It is not easy for her to clean hundreds of clocks. She was also angry at the noise. Each clock kept its own time . So she can hear clocks strike( 敲 ) almost any time during the day and night . She says, “There is something even worse. I am never able to know what time it is with so many clocks around.”
