DIY,which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in the UK. Lots of shops and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes show people how to DIY.
English people like DIY. There is a saying in the UK, "An Englishman's home is his castle(城堡)." A lot of people spend their holidays turning their homes into beautiful "castles". They share DIY experiences with their friends. More and more people have found the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also do DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn(经济衰退)at present,many people cannot afford(买得起)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 huge market for DIY furniture which people need to put together themselves with a few basic tools. However,people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can't understand the instructions. Even if the instructions are easy and clear,the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing for sure is that though most DIY jobs are started with the best intention(意图),many of them may not get finished.
DIY can also be dangerous. For example,anything electrical(电的)should be done by a professional(专业的)worker. Unluckily,many people don't care about this and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in the UK,including(包括)41,000 who fell off ladders(梯子).
DIY can bring us fun and help us save money,but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY.
