DIY is very popular in China now. Do you know what it is?

Yang Chen works for a computer business in Beijing. Though he enjoys his work, it is hard for him for relax after work. "For a long time, I had no choice except going to a bar for a drink and karaoke to relax myself," he said. One day when he saw many toys in a toy shop, he had an idea. "Why not make some kinds of things and relax myself?" Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else. The thing he has made by himself doesn't look as professionally made as those in the shop, but he likes doing it. "It is not as much fun to play with things which are bought expensively from the shops." he said. Now his bookshelves are full of many kinds of things he has made. They are very beautiful and friends like them very much.

More and more people are like Yang, making or creating things on their own. They like to do it themselves. Though making things with our own hands may take much time, some people, known as DIYers, enjoy doing it very much. They can make all kinds of things they like.

（1）在中国DIY正变得越来越流行. It may be to the young, yet many people remember when it was once a way of life.

During 1960s and 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. (B) Whitewashing the wall or making clothes was a part of life because there was no other choice. If you want something done, you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something you made it yourself. But times have changed and DIY has different meanings.
