Host: Hi Joan. I'm very happy to talk to you today. Tell me, what's so great about DIY?
Joan: For me, the best thing about DIY is that it helps people feel good about themselves.
Host: Can you give me an example?
Joan: Sure. I lead a DIY group. In my group, there's a teenager named Greg. He loves chess. For a special DIY project, he decided to make his own wooden chessboard.
Host: Oh, what a great idea!
Joan: Yes! At first, Greg was nervous about the project. He didn't think he could really make a chessboard. Then he got lots of advice from group members and worked hard. When he finished his chessboard, he was so proud.
Host: I can imagine!
Joan: He also learnt some great woodworking skills.
Host: Interesting. Do you have any other examples?
Joan: I have a girl named Jill in my group. She started making her own candles as a fun DIY project. She was a bit shy about showing her candles to others, but everybody loved them! We even encouraged her to sell the candles at a market.
Host: Did she?
Joan: Yes, she did! The experience helped her feel good about herself—and she's earning a bit of money too.
Host: Wow! Good for her. Thanks for sharing these examples, Joan.
