“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 everything.

    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 favorite football player.

    We all maximize(扩大)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 student to write about the waterfall(瀑布) they had visited. On the 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(可信度).Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.

Last Saturday evening, my old car broke down on my way home. It was 25 kilometres away from my 1 , so I wanted to take a bus. 

I went to a bus stop and then a bus came. But it was not the 2 bus for my town. The bus driver was 3 and she told me that I needed to take the No. 5 bus. I 4 there for about thirty minutes, but no bus came. At last a 5 came to me and a woman walked out of it. I got a surprise. She was 6 the bus driver. 

"I got to7 that the bus to your town couldn't come, so I come back here. I can't8 you here," she said. "9 my car and I will drive you home. " Her words made me feel really10 .

On the way she told me a11 . A week ago, there wasn't gas(汽油) in her car. An old man drove12 to a gas station and then back to her car. When I got to my house, I wanted to pay some money to13 her, but she didn't take it. "I only want to do something for others, " she said.

I learnt a lot from the woman,14 I joined a club called "Giving a Hand" later. Now I can also do something to15 those in need.
