Miss Wu is a young teacher of English in China. She loves teaching very much. One day when she was giving an English lesson, she found the headmaster sitting at the back of the classroom. After class, the headmaster told her that he came to her class to find out how much English and how much Chinese she was using. The result was about half English and half Chinese. She was using Chinese when she gave instructions to her students and when she wanted to get feedback (反馈) from her students. The headmaster told her that she should use more English in her class.

Miss Wu made a plan like this:

·talk with an Englishman every Sunday for two hours to learn more English expressions;

·write some English expressions on cards. These cards not only remind her to use English in class, but also help her remember some expressions;

·have a five-minute talk in English with students before class.

She used body language to help her if students could not understand.

One year later, she found she could use English freely in class.

DIY is very popular in China now. Do you know what it is?

   Yang Chen works for a computer business in Beijing. Though he enjoys his work, it is hard for him for relax after work.

   “For a long time, I had no choice except going to a bar for a drink and karaoke to relax myself,” he said.

   One day when he saw many toy dons in a toy shop, he had an idea.” Why not do some kind of things and relax myself?” Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else. The thing he has made by himself don’t look as professionally made as those in the shop, but he likes doing it. “It is not as much fun to play with things which are bought expensively from the shops,” he said. Now his bookshelves are full of many kinds of thing he has made. They are very beautiful and friends like them very much. More and more people are like Yang, making or creating things on their own. They like to do it themselves.

   Though making things with our own hands may take much time, some people, now known as DIYers---do---it---yourselfers, enjoy doing it very much. They can make all kinds of things they like.

   DIY is becoming more and more popular in China. It may be to the young, yet many people remember when it was once a way of life.

   During 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. Whitewashing the wall or making clothes was a part of life because there was no other choice. If you want something done, you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something you made it yourself.

   But times have changed and DIY has also different meanings.
