In the United States, each farm family lives on its own fields, and often can’t see any people living around. Instead of travelling from a village to the fields every morning, American farmers stay on their land all the week. They travel to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for church. The children ride on buses to large schools which serve all of the farm families living in the area. In some areas, there are not big schools serving a few families, and the children walk to school. Of course life keeps changing for everyone, including farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios, and television set. And of course there are modern machines for farming. All of these have changed farm life. For many years, farmers had to deal with their own problems, instead of getting help from others. They learned to try new methods (方法) and to believe their own ideas instead of following old ways.
Living areas | Daily life | School | Changes |
Each farm family lives on its own 1. . | They stay on their land all the 2. . | Large schools serve 3. of the farm families living in that area. | With the 4. machines, they have changed farm life. |

As prices and building costs keep rising(上涨的), the do-it-yourself (DIY） 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 decide 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 shoe making 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 that they can fight with the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it -yourselfer”, 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.
