In English, the spelling of words does not always represent(代表)the sound. And some words seem to have too many letters. An American called Noah Webster wanted to do something for the development of English, so he began his work on it. His first book,  The Elementary(基础的)Spelling Book, suggested making the spelling of English words easy. The book was very popular. In fact, Webster is famous for his American Dictionary of the English Language. This dictionary came out in 1828 after it was completed. It introduced lots of new American words, with information about their pronunciation, use and the new spelling. Today,  Webster's dictionary is still widely used in English-speaking countries.

    English words like other languages change all the time. People need new words for new ideas and inventions. Different words come into use and older words are used in a new way. Here are some ways to change.

    English words can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” was from Mexico, and “tea” came from China. Now new words are made by joining two words together. “Weekend” and “cookbook” are examples. A latest one “brunch” comes from breakfast and lunch. Do you have brunch every day? Sometimes new words are shorter forms (形式) of the longer words. For example, the word “photo” was from “photograph” by cutting off the end of the longer words. “Plane” and “phone” were made by cutting off the front part of “airplane” and “telephone”. The names of people and products(产品)can also become new words. Our food “sandwich” was from a man called Sandwich.

    Can you find any other examples for each of these ways to make new words?
