My cousin and DIY My cousin Andrew is crazy about DIY. ① He loves to repair things and decorate his house. But when he finishes, the house always looks terrible! 开门见山法：文章开头直接交代了人物和主题，为后面的写作做好了铺垫。我们在写类似的短文时，可以采用这个方法。 He once tried to put in a brighter light in his bedroom, but he made a mistake. ② Then his whole house had a power cut. Another time, he wanted to put up a picture on his bedroom wall, but he hit a pipe and filled the room with water. ③ Last month, he thought the living room in his house was boring, so he painted it blue. His mum said, “Stop it. ” But he kept on painting. Now the living room has not only blue walls but also a blue ceiling and floor. ④ Even his cat is blue now! When I wanted a shelf above my bed, he said, “No problem!” ⑤ He then spent five hours putting up the shelf on the wall. Then I put my books on the shelf. Whoops! They couldn't stay there because one end of the shelf was much higher than the other! I bought some books about DIY for him and I also advised him to take a course in DIY. ⑥ But this just made him angry—he says he already knows everything about it. ⑦ So instead, I am reading all the books myself and attending lessons every Saturday. ⑧ Now I know much more about DIY than my cousin! adv.“已经”， 通常用于肯定句。否定句和疑问句中常用yet。 B.
