主持人：嗨，琼。今天能和你交谈我很高兴。跟我说说，自己动手做（DIY）有什么很棒的地方？
琼：对我来说，DIY最棒的地方在于它能帮助人们自我感觉良好。
主持人：你能给我举个例子吗？
琼：当然可以。我带领一个DIY小组。在我的小组里，有个叫格雷格的青少年。他喜欢国际象棋。为了一个特别的DIY项目，他决定制作自己的木质国际象棋棋盘。
主持人：哦，多好的主意啊！
琼：是的！一开始，格雷格对这个项目感到紧张。他觉得自己真的做不出一个国际象棋棋盘。然后他从小组成员那里得到了很多建议，并且努力去做。当他完成自己的棋盘时，他非常自豪。
主持人：我能想象到！
琼：他还学到了一些很棒的木工技能。
主持人：真有趣。你还有其他例子吗？
琼：我的小组里有个叫吉尔的女孩。她开始制作自己的蜡烛，把这当作一个有趣的DIY项目。她有点不好意思把自己的蜡烛展示给别人看，但每个人都很喜欢它们！我们甚至鼓励她去市场上卖这些蜡烛。
