Its old meaning is used to express (表达)a temperature(温度） that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed，the word has had many different meaning.“Cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.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 footballer.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 students to write about the waterfall(瀑布)they had visited. On one student’ s paper was just the one sentence(句子)，“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.

I learned cooking from my mother because she was really interested in teaching me howto cook（做饭）. The main reason for this was that when my mother got married, she didn't know how to cook anything, not even an egg. My grandmother never allowed her to stay in the kitchen when she was cooking.My mother did not start to cook until she was 25 years old. In the beginning, it was very hard for her. Therefore, she had to take cooking classes to prepare our meals. After having that experience, she decided to teach me how to cook because she didn't want me tohave the same experience.I remember when I was seven years old, and my mother was cooking, I was with her in the kitchen enjoying cooking. I always helped her. Sometimes we prepared meals that my mother already knew how to make, and sometimes we prepared them from recipes. Nowadays, I am really thankful for that experience（经验） of people, it doesn't matter.I will do the same with my children because I don't want themto have the same experience as my mother.
