DIY
DIY是“Do It Yourself”的英文缩写。兴起于近几年,逐渐成为一种流行。简单来说,DIY就是自己动手,没有性别、年龄的区别,每个人都可以自己做,利用DIY做出来的物品自有一份自在与舒适。
DIY起源于欧美,已有50年以上历史。在欧美国家,由于工人薪资非常高,所以人们不想花费太多的费用找寻专业人士进行住屋整修或庭院维护,而是利用自行购买或租用工具与购买来的材料,在闲暇时自己整修房屋。但渐渐的DIY的概念也被扩及到所有可以自己动手做的事物上,例如自行维修汽车与家用电器产品。
总体上来说,DIY的涵盖范围并没有特别明确的范围定义,DIY的目的也由一开始时节省开销的理由,慢慢地演变成一种以休闲、发挥个人创意或培养嗜好为主要目的的风气,是否能节省成本往往变成次要因素。

Suzy's cousin Andrew is crazy about DIY. Read Suzy's article about him.
My cousin Andrew is crazy about DIY. He loves to repair things and decorate his house. But when he finishes, the house always looks terrible!
He once tried to put in a brighter light in his bedroom, but he made a mistake. Then his whole house had a power cut. Another time, he wanted to put up a picture on his bedroom wall, but he hit a pipe and filled the room with water.
Last month, he thought the living room in his house was boring, so he painted it blue. His mum said, "Stop it." But he kept on painting. Now the living room not only has blue walls but also a blue ceiling and floor. Even his cat is blue now!
When I wanted a shelf above my bed, he said, "No problem!" He then spent five hours putting up the shelf on the wall. Then I put my book on the shelf. Whoops! They couldn't stay there because one end of the shelf was much higher than the other!
I bought some books about DIY for him and I also advised him to take a course in DIY. But this just made him angry - he says he already knows everything about it. So instead, I am reading all the books myself and attending lessons every Saturdoy. Now I know much more about DIY than my cousin!
