    When I was fourteen years old,I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn't the first time I had been abroad (Like many English children,I often went to France).So when I went to America,I thought I would have a nice casy holiday without any language problems.

    How wrong I was！ The misunderstanding（误解）began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to tell my American friend Danny that I had arrived.A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.

    “Yes,”I said,“I want to give my friend a ring.”

    "Well,that's nice,"he said."Are you getting married?But aren't you too young?"

    "Who is talking about marriage（婚姻）？"I replied."I only want to give my friend a ring to tell him I've arrived.Can you tell me where there is a phone box?"

    "Oh,"he said,"there is a phone downstairs."

    When at last we met,Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.

    “Don't worry,”he said to me.“I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which Americans use differently in meaning from British people.You'll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time,British and American people understand each other."

        DIY,which means“Do It Yourself”,is quite popular in the UK. Lots of shops and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes show people how to DIY.

         English people like DIY. There is a saying in the UK,“An Englishman's home is his castle（城堡）."里Many people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful“castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their houses,such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. More and more people have found the joy of DIY.Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn（经济衰退）at present,many people don't have enough money to buy a big house. They are looking at how they can make their houses better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.

       DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to get together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can't understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are easy and clear,but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing for sure is that, though most DIY jobs are started with the best intentions（意图），many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical（电的）should be done by a professional（专业的）worker. Unluckily， many people don't care about this and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in the UK,including 41，000 who fell off ladders（梯子）.

       Therefore,DIY ean bring us fun and help us save money,but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew(嚼).Maybe companies should make things that are easier and safer for us to DIY.
