English people like DIY. A lot of people always spend their holiday making their homes more beautiful. If there is anything that needs repairing or decorating around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. More and more people show an interest in DIY. Sometimes people also DIY in order to save money. They are trying to find ways to make their house better when they can't afford the cost. So, it is not surprising that DIY is very popular.
DIY can be difficult. People often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can't understand the instructions well. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. DIY can also be dangerous . People should learn much about DIY work before doing it. Unluckily, many people don't care about that. So they may be in danger. It is reported that in just one year thousands of people were hurt while doing DIY in the UK, including those who fell off ladders.

Lots of people love chocolate. Do you know how to make it? What does a chocolate factory look like? My class had a field trip to a chocolate factory in Toronto.
We visited an old building in ten groups. In the beginning, we put on some special clothes to make sure that we couldn’t dirty the workplace. After preparation(准备), we went to the second floor and walked into the chocolate-making place. The floor was filled with different kinds of machines. Each machine has a different job. There are only two people working on the floor, because machines do most of the work.
In the next room, we learned about the history of chocolate making. There was a picture of the factory 100 years ago. They had more than 1,000 people working there. The factory is very different now. How greatly the technology(技术) is changing our life!
Later, we saw how machines made chocolate. We got a cocoa bean(可可豆), some powdered(粉末的) chocolate and a final chocolate. I opened the cocoa bean and tasted it. It doesn’t taste sweet at all, and it’s like dark chocolate. The best cocoa beans come from South America and Africa. Farmers dry them in the sun. Next, workers cook the beans at a high temperature. Machines took the shells(果壳) off the beans and made the beans into chocolate liquor which looks like water. Then, they put chocolate liquor and sugar together to make dark chocolate. If adding milk, they made milk chocolate. The machine made them smooth like silk.
Finally, we bought some chocolate at a shop in the factory. It was at a very low price. This field trip taught me how important technology is and I also leant a lot of knowledge about chocolate.
