DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is very popular in the UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY materials (材料) . TV shows also teach people how to DIY.
British people like DIY a lot. If there is anything that needs fixing (修理) around their homes, such as painting the walls or fixing the furniture (家具) , they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY with their friends. More and more people enjoy DIY and have found the happiness and pleasure of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. Today, many people don't have enough money to buy a big house. They are looking at how they can make their houses better without spending a lot of money. That's why DIY is so popular.
However, DIY can be difficult. People often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can't understand the instructions (用法说明) . Sometimes the instructions themselves are easy and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. DIY can also be dangerous if you are not careful enough. It is reported that in just one year more than 230, 000 people were hurt (受伤) while doing DIY in the UK.
DIY can bring us a lot of fun and can help us save some money, but it is not always as easy as it seems to be. Maybe factories should make things that are easier and safer (安全) for us to DIY.
