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 at home.Doing DIY is very popular in Britain and there are lots of TV programs which show people how to do DIY projects. Some people just do some simple decorating ----putting up wallpaper andpainting 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(电子的) things should be done by a special worker, but many people don't care. about this warming (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(背痛).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!56.
