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. For example, the word tomato was borrowed from Mexico and tea came from China. New words are formed by putting two words together sometimes. Countryside and earthquake are made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. As we know, the word photo was made from photograph by cutting off the end of the longer word. Plane was made by cutting off the front part of airplane. The names of people and products(产品) can become new words, too.

He hopes it will make Beijings sky clear again and help the people with masks breathe fresh air again in Beijing. This device can pull the dirty particles in the air to the ground, and then they can be easily cleaned. Roosegaarde says, Its like when you have a balloon which has static electricity (静电) and your hair goes toward it. Smog (烟尘) happens the same way as the hair. His workplace has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of the capitals parks. Beijings skies are regularly covered by grey smog. Red warnings of air pollution are often reported in Beijing. Roosegaarde says an indoor test has already shown it works well and he is confident of the results. With the help of a team of scientists and engineers, he is sure that the device can be worked outside. Beijing is a very good place to test the device because the smog is quite low and theres not so much wind, says Roosegaarde. Well be able to make the air pure but the most difficult is to move the smog away. As a result, you can see the sun again. Roosegaarde also reminds us that his aim is not-only to give a plan to solve Beijings dirty air pollution but also to make people pay attention to the environment problem. He adds This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer to do with it is clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles.
