Fifty years ago not many people would have something repaired in their homes.In those days labour(勞動力) was fairly cheap and most people would have thought it worthwhile to have somebody repair their things unless they were very poor.Today,however,it is quite a different story.Men and women in all walks of life turn their hands to all kinds of jobs round the house.Some people have even successfully built their own houses.These jobs have been made easier today by using prepared materials(預(yù)制材料).In every High Street throughout Britain nowadays there is at least one "DIY" shop.And "Do-it-yourself" is a booming business.A lot of people visited these shops every day because of the high cost of present-day labour.
