When you see a beautiful and expensive car in the street, you can say, “It is cool.” You may think the famous film star Keanu Reeves is cool. You can also use the word to mean something new and surprising. Here is an example. One day a teacher took the students to a farm and then asked them to write something about the visit. One of her students just wrote, “The farm is so cool.” Because he thought “ cool” was the best word to show what he saw and felt. It also shows some people don’t have enough words.

　　Many of the expressions using water haven't enjoyable meanings in English.

　　“Hot water” was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got the meaning from throwing hot water down on enemies（敌人）attacking a town. That happens no longer, but we still get into hot water.

　　When we are in hot water, we are in trouble. It can be any kind of trouble, serious or not so serious. A person who breaks a rule can be in hot water with the police. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother if he walks in a house with dirty shoes.

　　“Water over the dam（水坝）” is another expression about a past event. It's something that finishes and it cannot be changed. The expression comes from the idea--water has run over a dam and it cannot be brought back again. When a friends is troubled by a mistake he has made, you might tell him to forget about it. You can say “It's water over the dam.”
