DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in the UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programs show people how to DIY.
English people like DIY. If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as p the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY e with their friends. More and more people are fond of DIY and have d the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. At present, many people can’t a a big house. They are looking at how they can make their houses better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult. There is a large market for DIY furniture (家具) which needs to be got together by people themselves w a few tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions (指令). Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture
i is difficult to build. DIY can also be dangerous if you are not careful enough. It is r that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in the UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.
DIY can bring us a lot of f and can help us save some money, but it is not always as easy as it is t to be if we do something that is too hard. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and s for us to DIY.
