DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes show people how to DIY.
English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK—“As Englishman’s home is his castle”. Large number of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles(城堡)”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. At present, many people can not afford a big house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to get together themselves with a few basic tools. But some of the furniture is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions. Many of them may not get finished.
Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it can be difficult. Maybe factories should make products that are easier for us to DIY.
