For a very long time, blind people used a stick to walk around.
Then, a man named Kursat had an idea. He is also blind. He knows it is hard for blind people to walk around. So, he wanted to make a new stick—WeWalk.
What can the WeWalk stick do? It's like a clever friend. It has a special
sensor. It can feel things in front, like a wall or a tree. When there is danger, the stick will make a sound to warn people. It can even work with a mobile phone. For example, it can tell the user, "Turn left here."
Kursat invented the WeWalk stick. He didn't just make it for himself. He made it to help all blind people walk more safely and easily in the city.

不定式作目的状语的用法
• 不定式 to do 在句子中作目的状语,意为“为了……”,可以放在句首或句末。一般来说,放在句首属于强调性用法,即强调目的。如:To make sure of your safety, you must follow the traffic rules. 为了确保你的安全,你必须遵守交通规则。
• 表示目的还可以用 in order to do 或 so as to do,前者语气更加正式,可以放在句首或句末。后者较口语化,不能放在句首。如:In order to pass the exam, he worked hard. = He worked hard so as to pass the exam. 为了通过考试,他努力学习。
