QUESTION 5. WRITE A COMPOSITION ANSWERING THIS QUESTION: People need qualities to make a success of “do-it-yourself”. Do you agree? (Approximately 120 words)

Solución: Sample answer: I completely agree that people need certain qualities to succeed at do-it-yourself. First of all, patience is essential. Painting a room, repairing a bike or assembling furniture takes time, and if you rush, the result is usually a disaster. Secondly, you need to be practical and good with your hands. Some people find it easy to use tools, while others, like me, struggle even to hang a picture straight. Moreover, creativity helps a lot, because DIY often means finding original solutions with limited materials. Finally, you must be willing to learn from your mistakes and to follow instructions carefully. In conclusion, anyone can try DIY, but only those who are patient, practical and creative will really make a success of it.
