题目内容
【题目】Graffiti is a common feature of most Western cities.The word graffiti was from the Greek word, graphein, which only meant writing.These days, however, the word means drawing or writing on the walls of buildings, or the public transportation, such as trains or buses.

At first, graffiti artists used pens.But then, with the development of graffiti, they became experienced.They turned to using spray paint(喷漆罐).Spray paint allowed them to draw a greater area.And it also allowed them to work quickly.
