My Friend Leo and His DIY

 

My friend Leo is crazy about DIY. He loves to make and repair things in his house by himself. However, he is not good at it at the beginning!

 

Once, he tried to change the light bulb in his living room, but he made a mistake, and his whole house lost power. Another time, he wanted to put up a photo on the wall, but he hit a water pipe, and the room was full of water.

 

Leo thought he was just unlucky. He didn’t stop trying to fix things on his own. Instead, he bought lots of DIY books and took an online DIY lesson. Now he knows how to do all kinds of DIY work.

 

One day, he found my room was in a mess, with books everywhere. “You need a shelf for them,” he said. Then he got some wood and made a shelf for me. Now my room looks tidy and beautiful.

 

Last Sunday, I went to his home. A desk lamp caught my eye. It looked very nice! I was surprised that he made it himself!

 

Leo enjoys DIY very much. He thinks DIY is a great way to relax and save money.
