cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.
"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 is so cool," when you see your favourite
football player. And here is an interesting story we can use to show one of the different ways the word is
used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. One student wrote,
"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 can you think of many other words that makes your life as colourful as the word "Cool" ? If you can,
I think that is also very cool.
B. no meaning
C. only one meaning
D. the same meaning

Japanese prefer not to work while eating. Lunch is a time for them to relax and get to know each other and
