In Britain, people have a strange hobby. When there’s a Bank Holiday(法定假期) weekend, a certain kind of shop always gets very busy, and it’s not what you might think — a clothes shop or a music shop. Many people go to DIY stores and garden centers instead of relaxing(放松) at home.

Doing DIY is very popular in Britain and there are lots of TV programmes which show people how to do DIY projects. Some people just do some simple decorating — putting up wallpaper and painting walls. But there are all kinds of DIY projects that some people decide to do, for example, putting in a new shower.

Unluckily, some people start doing a job but end in DIY disaster(灾难). For example, electrical things should be done by a special worker, but many people don’t care about this warning(警告) and put themselves in danger.

Gardening is also popular, and it is a good way to enjoy the weather on a sunny Bank Holiday. But it’s not as easy as planting plants and doing some watering. More difficult work such as building a new garden or making some decorations can cause backache.

So why do people do it? Maybe they are so used to working that they aren’t very good at relaxing. One thing is for sure, though a lot of DIY or gardening projects will be started with the best plans, many of them may not get finished!

The relationship(关系) between students and teachers is very important. Why? Every day, we spend more hours with our teachers at school than with our parents at home. We learn many things from them, and they teach us to be good people.

At American schools, the situation is a little different. Teachers and students are more like friends. Calling a teacher by his or her name is very common. In class, students express their opinions freely and challenge(挑战) teachers when they don't agree. If it turns out that a teacher makes a mistake, the teacher will say “sorry” in front of the whole class. Students and teachers
