Some people would say that the Englishman’s home is no longer his castle; that it has become his workshop. This is partly because the average Englishman is k【66】on working with his hands and partly because he feels, for one reason or【67】, that he must do many household j【68】all by himself, while【69】which, some years ago, he would have hired professional help. The main reason for this is a financial one: the high cost of labor has m【70】that builders, and decorators’ costs have reached a level which makes them【71】(prohibit) for house-proud English people of modest means. So, if they wish to keep their houses looking bright and smart, they have to ta【72】some of the work themselves. As a【73】, there has grown up in the postwar years what is sometimes r【74】to as the "Do-It-Yourself Movement. "
The movement began【75】home decorating but has spread into a much wider field s【76】Nowadays there seem to be very few firings that cannot be made by the DIY method. Magazines and handbooks exist to show hopeful handymen (做零活的人) of all ages just how easy it is to build anything from a coffee table to a sailing dinghy (小游艇). You f【77】the simple instructions step-by-step and, be【78】you know where you are, the finished article stands before you.
Unfortunately, it is not always quite as simple as it sounds! Many a" do-it-yourselfer"【79】(have) found that one cannot learn a skilled craftsman’s job overnight. Quickly one realizes when doing it oneself, that a job which takes the skilled man an hour to complete takes the amateur handyman five or six at least. And then there are the problems of tools and the wear and【80】on the nerves. Many people have come to the conclusion that the expense of paying professional to do the work is, in the long run, more economical than "doing it oneself. " [br]
