What is DIY? Why do many people like it? Yang Chen works for a computer business in

Beijing. He enjoys his work, but it is not easy for him to relax after work. One day when he saw many toy dogs in a toy shop, he had an idea. “Why not make them myself?” Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else. He has great interest in it because it brings him lots of fun and makes life colourful. So what is DIY? Yes, it is making or creating (创造) things on your own, with your own hands.

It may take much time, but some people, now known as DIYers—do-it-yourselfers, enjoy

doing it very much. They enjoy it because it is fun. And they also say it helps them save money, too. What?s more, they think it is a good way to protect the environment (环境). It is a kind of green life. In fact, DIY is not a modern thing in China. Many people remember when it was once a way of life in the past. During the 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. If you wanted something, you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something, you made it yourself.

One day, a dinner guest at the restaurant sent back his fried potatoes to the chef because he

Eating habits are different in different countries. The Chinese have a saying “Eat good things for breakfast, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat less at dinner.” Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different. They eat a small lunch. Also a quiet dinner at home with all the family talking about their day is a way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work.

Eating at the restaurant is also different. In China, people like to talk and laugh while eating. In America it is not like this. They want a quiet place where they can eat a good meal far away from the noises of the outside world.

I knew little about English when I first came to America. So I went to a language school every day except Sunday to learn English. One day during the break, I asked Alice, one of my classmates, a question about something that I didn?t understand. When I thanked her for it, she said, “You are welcome, it?s a piece of cake.” I thought to myself, America is really a “money” country in which everything is done for pay. So I said to her, “I don?t have a piece of cake with me today. What

about something else?” She looked at me with a big smile and said, “What I mean is, ?no problem?, It is just a small matter.” From now on, I came to learn that “a piece of cake” means something that is very easy.
