“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express the low temperature. As the world has changed, the word has many different meanings.

“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.

When you see a famous car in the street, you will say, “it’s cool.” You may think, “He is so cool!” when you see your football player.

WE have quite a few meanings of the word “cool”. You can use it instead of many other words such as “new”, “handsome” or “surprising”. There is an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A mother asked her to say something about his favorite film star. The little boy could only say, “He is very cool.” But there are many other words which can be used to describe a person. So the story also shows a scarcity（缺乏）of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show what they want to say. Can you think of many other ways that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. What about you? Have a try. You’ll find them also very cool.
