“ 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 anything.
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
footballer.
We all maximize（擴(kuò)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 students to write about the waterfall （瀑布）they had visited. On one 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 .
