A
“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 anything.
When you see a famous car in the street,maybe you will say,“It'cold.”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 onestudent'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 colorful as the word“cool”? I can.And I think they are also very cool.

Public Speaking Training
Get a coach:
Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough. 1. .Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.
2. :
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. 3. .You already do lots of things well, so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.
Turn your back on too many rules:
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about.So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse. 4. .Your audience can be your friends.
You are a special person not a clone:
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits.You aren't like anybody else. 5. , not try to turn you into someone you're not.
A.Check the rules about dos and don'ts
B.So, get help
C.Focus on positives.
D.As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking
E.Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well
F.Your training course should help you bring out your personality.
G.You should think highly of the Public Speaking Training.
