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.
