1) DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programs show people how to DIY.
2) English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK----“As Englishman’s home is his castle”. Huge numbers of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, 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 discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn at present, many people cannot afford a big house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
3) 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 simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions. Many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.
4) Therefore, DIY can 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. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY.

Cellphones help us easily find people anywhere at any time. However, using cellphones too often may cause cancer. It's reported that people who used a cellphone for 10 years or more were more likely to get brain cancer.
The suggestions below may help you reduce the risk (风险) of cancer:
◆ When using your cellphone, try to keep it away from your body as much as possible. Don't put it under your pillow (枕头) or on a bedside table when you go to sleep.
◆ When you're on the cellphone, use the speaker. In this way, you have just 1/100th of the contact (接触) with radiation you have when you hold it to your ear. An earphone is also a good idea.
◆ Try to keep your conversations short. If you need to talk longer, use an ordinary phone instead.
◆ Change ears when you're using your cellphone. Before putting it to your ear, wait until the person you are calling picks up the phone.
◆ Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or text (发短信), but not when you're listening or getting messages. Listening more and talking less can lower the risk of cancer.
◆ Do not use your cellphone when the signal (信号) is weak or when moving at a high speed, for example in a car or train. At high speeds your phone is trying to pick up signals, and this increases the radiation it gives out.
