Thumbs up 4th Paragraph

4th Paragraph

In former times when window-pane in your house got broken, you would call the glazier to put in a new one, or if your lights fused, the electrician would be sent for to put them right. Nowadays people are their own glaziers and electricians.

Before the war, when wages were relatively low, people did not think of doing these things for themselves, but during the war, when so many artisans were away in the armed forces, the master of the house had to undertake this sort of job himself. To his surprise he got to like sawing wood and gluing it, putting in new light fuses or new washers in running taps and all the hundred and one repair jobs there are to be done around most houses. By the time the war was over it had become a habit with him.

In the post-war period of full employment the number of artisans available is limited, many having found it more profitable to take work in factories, while those that are left are able to charge high prices for their services. Now that the householder has got the hang of mending leaking pipes and broken chairs, he sees no reason why he should pay someone else a lot of money to do something he really enjoys doing himself; and so in recent years the ‘do-it-yourself’ movement has grown rapidly. In the ironmonger’s we can buy sets of ‘do-it-yourself’ tools which include everything we may need for repairs in the home, and in the bookshops, books are also available to tell us how to use the tools we have just bought. So clever have we all become that we are no longer satisfied only with mending things, we want to make them too; and so, to cater for this demand, shops are now selling. ‘Do-it-yourself’ kit, which enable the man-in-the-street toi build anything he likes from a coffee-table to a sailing boat.

With every passing day people are becoming wiser,that is why unlike past,they prefer self done work to paid work.This change is brought by war when availability of artists became dearthy,and people started fixing small problems on their own pertaining to the household and now this is very much in vogue.Now they have become accustomed of setting things in right order and of reconditioning.In this they are also helped by the different Tools and Books available in the market providing guidance and information.Such supportive tools and books have enabled even the layman to make the things he is not skilful in.

Peoples are now own glaziers and electricians as it was opposite in past. Low wages before war compelled peoples call artisans for work and in war day’s housemaster have to do by him because of non availability. Limited availability, more profitable work at factories, and high wages of remaining now instead of paying these, now people enjoy doing work and that resulted in flourish of do-it-yourself tools. From hardware stores and bookshops peoples can buy these tools and their manual. Now because of demand, interest and more smartness in making news items along with repair these do it yourself kits are easily available. (104)

The help of professionals were sought in past for fixing household problems.The trend first changed during war.Because of lack of artisans people had to fix thier problems themselves.The task adopted forcibly,proved to be pleasenta and became a habbit.After war most professionals preferred working in factories that raised the cost of available ones.Besides the householders knew doing such jobs so no need of paying someone else.Thus trend of doing ur work urself became popular.People were furthur helped by tools and books explaing how to do so much that they have advanced from repairing to making .

Title Self help.

Title: Self Reliance

The help of professionals were sought in past for fixing household problems. The trend first changed during war when armed officers left their homes. Lack of artisans moved people to fix their problems by themselves. The task adopted forcibly, proved pleasant and became a habit. After war most professionals preferred working in factories that raised the cost of available ones. As householders learnt these works they preferred to do it rather paying high. Self-help became popular and further helped by tool kits and books explaining how to mend the broken and how to make something new. The way skills transferred to a common man. (104)


There are very some corrections added to your precis and you can check them out.

Title: From paid work to self done.

People are now own glaziers and electricians as it was opposite in past. Low wages before war compelled them to call artisans for work. During war day’s artisans were in armed forces so they have to do mend by themselves so it became a habit of them. After war workers joined factories that were more profitable, and remaining raised their wages. Rather paying them high people started a campaign of self done. With advancement allied books and tool kits with their manual are available that helped people to train themselves and they learnt not only to mend but to make new as well. (103)


Brother this time you were not up to the mark, you just check out the corrections I have made in it. Your precis was showing that you have just tried to finish it without considering the quality of work. your initial efforts were really good but sorry to say it was lagging behind in so many respects. So plz next time make it carefully.
