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 (創(chuàng)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 (環(huán)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.
