It was like a big ball.Some of the strongest men in the village tried to lift the rock. They did their best but theycouldn’t move it away. They tried to push it, they tried to roll it, they tried to pull it with ropes, but nothing w orked. “Well,” they agree d, “there’s nothing we can do about it. We’ll have to build another road.”At the time a young boy about 12 years old was standing by. “Excuse me,” he said, “but I think I can help you move the rock.”“You?” they shouted. “What a re you talking about? All of us have just tried, and even together we can’t move it at all.” The men all laughed at the boy.The next morning some people came into the road. One of them shouted, “The rock is gone.” More people ran out into the road to see for themselves. It was true. The rock wasn’t on the road any more. It wasn’t even near the road. In fact, no one could see the rock anywhere.“This is impossible.” they said. “Where has it gone?” The twelve-year-old boy stood out, smiling. “I told you I could move it,” he said.“I did it last night.

Yet En glish words do not stay the same. The language is always changing. We need new words for new inventions and new ideas. Different words come into use, or older words are used in a new way.English can chang e by borrowing words from other languages, “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico, the word “coffee” came from Turkey, and “tea” came from China. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too.New words are also made by adding two words together. “Postman” and “grandfather” are words made up of two parts.Sometimes new words are sh orter forms of older words. The word “photo” was made from photograph by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane” was made by cutting off the fro nt part of airplane. “Smog” was made by using only the first two and last two letters from the words“smoke” and “fog”.The names of people and products can become new words. Our sandwich was named after a man named “Sandwich”.6.
