Because living costs keep going up, the DIY trend(趋势) grows quickly among the people in America.
“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “but we just didn’t have enough money to
buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs for ourselves.” Like many young people these

took a 2-week course for ＄280 at a night school. Now they build their furniture and make repairs around
the house.

shoe-making factory. Last month, he had to spend ＄420 on the car repair. “I was deeply worried about it .
Now I’ve finished a car repair course. I should be able to fix the car by myself.”
Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so that(以便) they can fight
the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those
who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.
