English words don't stay the same. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Different words come into use, or older words are used in a new way.

  English can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word tomato was borrowed from Mexico and tea came from China and so on. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too. New words are formed by adding two words together. Countrysideand earthquake are made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. The wordphoto was made from photographby cutting off the end of the longer word. Planewas made by cutting off the front part ofairplane. The names of people and products(產(chǎn)品)can become new words, too. Our sandwichwas named after a man Sandwich and sellotape”(透明膠帶)was a name given by the company that first made the product.
