Home improvement stores are so much fun.
I like looking around in them.
(I like walking around in the park.
I like visiting museums.)
Me, too!
There are so many interesting things here.
I can get ideas for my house.
Right. Home improvement stores have all kinds of tools and materials, too.
Yes. You can buy almost anything here.
(A: I need a new phone case.
B: Go to the night market. You can buy almost anything there.
You can buy almost anything in a supermarket.)
Then you don’t have to hire someone to fix something.
You can do it yourself.
So does your house need any repairs?
Not really.
But the light switch in my kitchen doesn’t work.
I need a new one.
You’re going to put it in yourself?
Sure. Its’ a good DIY project.
It shouldn’t be very difficult to do.
I guess not.
And it’s fun to do things yourself.

The little boy talks to himself sometimes.自言自語
I baked this cake myself.)
Let’s go find the light switches.
OK. Where are they?
Some people hire workers to fix their homes.
