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 has not only 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 books 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 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 Saturday. Now I know much more about DIY than my cousin.
Post-reading There was a hole on my jeans. I wanted to throw them away. One of my best friends Amy stopped me from throwing, and said she could help me solve the problem. One hour later, she showed me a pair of beautiful shorts. “How did you do that?” I felt surprised. “DIY”, she answered with a smile.
