 “cool” is a word with many meanings. its old meaning is used to express a
temperature that is a little bit cold. as the world has changed, the word has had many
different meanings. “cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost everything.
    when you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say. “it’s cool.” you
may think,“he’s so cool,”when you see your favourite football player.
    we all maximize(擴大)the meaning of “cool”. you can use it instead of many
words, such as “new” or“surprising”.here’s an interesting story we can use to
show the way the word is used. a teacher asked her student to write about the
waterfall(瀑布) they had visited. on the student’s paper was just the one
sentence,“it’s so cool.”maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw
and felt.
    but the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words. without “cool”, some people
have no words to show the same meaning. so it is quite important to keep some
credibility(可信性).can you think of many other words that make your life as
colourful as the word “cool”? i can. and i think they are also very cool.
