When it's hot outside and we have to go out, surely we want to keep cool. We can put on hats, wear light clothing or stay at a cool place. However, there is nothing better than a good fan. Now I'll show you how to DIY a good paper fan.
What to prepare
Please prepare two pieces of paper. All paper will work, but your DIY fan can be used for a long time with quality paper. Then get glue, two sticks, etc.
How to DIY a fan
The first step is to draw pictures on the paper. Just draw anything you like. The next step is to fold up the paper. Then glue the two pieces of folded paper together. After that, paint the sticks. The final step is to glue the sticks onto the folded paper. And everything is done.
If you look at your watch, you will be surprised: it takes less than 15 minutes to make a good paper fan. Then you can fold it up and drop it in your bag. When you are out in the heat next time, just take it out and enjoy the soft wind.

DIY needs creative minds. To be creative means to be in love with life.
Daniella Hudson grew up in a very creative family. "Mum and Dad made all our furniture (家具)," she says. "Not because we are poor. They just like making things instead of buying them. So visits to city furniture shops nearby were part of my childhood." When Daniella visited a design show in her school trip at the age of ten, she knew that she wanted to follow her parents' example. "There were so many different styles of tables and chairs there," she says. Since that day, she's been making furniture.

Recently, Daniella was asked to take part in a local design show. "I couldn't believe it when they told me there would be a thousand visitors," she said. Instead of worrying about this, Daniella was excited by the chance. Daniella got lots of orders (订单) at the show and the future is looking bright for this young design star.

自己动手做（DIY）需要创造性思维。有创造力意味着热爱生活。
丹妮拉·哈德森在一个极具创造力的家庭中长大。“爸爸妈妈制作了我们所有的家具，”她说，“不是因为我们穷。他们只是喜欢制作东西，而不是购买。所以去附近的城市家具店逛逛是我童年的一部分。”十岁时，丹妮拉在学校组织的旅行中参观了一场设计展，从那时起，她就知道自己想要以父母为榜样。“那里有很多不同风格的桌椅，”她说。从那天起，她就开始制作家具了。“我通过给爸爸妈妈帮忙以及在网上看视频来学习（制作家具），”她补充道。
她的第一件作品是一张桌子，是在参观完设计展后不久制作的。这张桌子和她在展会上看到的一张很相似。“他们（展会上）有过去一百年间的家具，我复制了一个20世纪20年代的设计，”丹妮拉说。“遗憾的是，这些年已经没人想要那样的桌子了，但我对自己的作品质量很满意。我给它上了漆，因为我最初选的木材颜色太暗了。”
丹妮拉开始在当地的一个市场上出售她的家具。“我大部分的空闲时间都花在那里，所以这给了我一个机会去了解人们对我的设计的看法。”她的设计卖得很好。然而，她最终不得不放弃那个当地市场。“那个市场占据了我所有的空闲时间，所以我开始做网上生意，”丹妮拉说。
最近，丹妮拉被邀请参加一场当地的设计展。“当他们告诉我会有一千名参观者时，我简直不敢相信，”她说。丹妮拉并没有为此感到担忧，反而为这个机会感到兴奋。丹妮拉在展会上接到了很多订单，这位年轻的设计明星前途一片光明。
（ ）4. 是什么让丹妮拉开始制作家具的？

A. 因为市场倒闭了。
B. 因为很少有人买。
