弄坏东西

7 / 7
7. What kind of things are more likely to be broken by people at home?

答案:

At home, several items are particularly prone to damage due to frequent use or mishandling. Electronics, such as smartphones, tablets, and televisions, often suffer from accidental drops or spills, leading to costly repairs or replacements. Furniture, especially items like chairs and tables, can experience wear and tear from daily activities, including scratches, dents, or structural damage.

Additionally, kitchen appliances, such as blenders and microwaves, may break down due to overuse or improper handling. Glassware is also vulnerable, as it can easily shatter if dropped or bumped. Lastly, plumbing fixtures, like faucets and pipes, might develop leaks or malfunctions over time, often resulting from wear or lack of maintenance.

Ultimately, the likelihood of damage often correlates with the frequency of use and the care taken by individuals.
