“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its traditional meaning is used to express a temperature that is fairly cold. As the world has changed, however, the word has expanded to take on many different meanings .
“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a brand-new car in the street, maybe you can't help saying.“It's cool.” You might think, “He's so cool.” when you see your favourite footballer.
We all maximize the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “amazing” . Here is an interesting story we can see used to illustrate the usage of the word: A teacher asked her students to describe the waterfall they have visited. On one student's paper was just one sentence. “It's so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to describe what he saw and felt.
But the story also demonstrates (表明)a scarcity of words and expressions. Without “cool”, some people have no words to express the same meaning. So it is necessary to improve our word strength to maintain some credibility. As a popular word, “cool” stands for a kind of special culture (文化)that people can accept easily.
