Reading
A Do it yourlf
Suzy’s cousin Andrew is crazy about DIY. Read Suzy’s article about him.
My cousin and DIY
My cousin Andrew is crazy about DIY. He loves to repair things and decorate his hou. But when he finishes, the hou always looks terrible!
He once tried to put in a brighter light in his bedroom, but he made a mistake. Then his whole hou 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 hou was boring, so he painted it blue. His mum said, “Stop it.” But he kept on painting. Now the loving room not only has 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 becau one end of the shelf was much higher than the other!
国际象棋怎么走I bought some books about DIY for him and I also advid him to take a cour in DIY. But this just made him angry—he says he already knows everything about it. So instead, I am reading all the books mylf and attending lessons every Saturday. Now I know much more about DIY than my cousin!
