As prices and building costs keep rising, the "do-it-yourself" trend (趋势) in the U. S. continues to grow.
“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross,“ and we just didn't have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.
Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoemaking factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I've finished a car repair course; I should be able to fix the car by myself.”
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money, so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a DIYer, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don't have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.

Examples of key words are “The most important point…” and “Remember that…”. Be sure to include the information that your teacher repeats or writes on the blackboard. Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviations such as “med” for medicine, using symbols such as “%” for percent, and writing short sentences.

One possible version:
Should teenagers go out with their friends on weekends?
Recently I’ve had a discussion with my parents about whether teenagers should go out with their friends on weekends. My parents think that teenagers should stay at home to go over their lessons. And they should have enough time to have a good sleep. In the meanwhile, they should help their parents do some housework.
In my opinion, we teenagers should go out with our friends for fun so that we can relax more. And we can also share ideas with each other. What’s more, we can also take som e exercise together to keep fit.
