How can you use critical thinking more? Listen to the podcast to find some tips.

-------------------------

In English exams like the IELTS test, there are speaking or writing questions that require critical thinking skills. If you feel weak in this area, you’re not alone. Many people do. The reason is that critical thinking is challenging, and this isn’t helped by the fact that not all education systems or schools focus the same energy on developing such skills. So what does it mean to think critically, and how can you do it more often?

***What is critical thinking?***

There are many different aspects to critical thinking. It may be about using your knowledge to predict what consequences different actions will have. It may be about looking at information and then forming opinions or reaching conclusions. It may also be about understanding when some important information is missing, and being able to gather the extra information that you need. In your work life or student life, these skills are vital for finding solutions to problems. If you have them and can present your analyses to other people effectively, you will be a valued member of any forward-thinking team.

---------------------------

If you want to work on your critical thinking with a qualified, experienced teacher, and to practise applying it when speaking or writing, please get in contact with me or book a class.

[White Day🤦🏻‍♂️🎁] The Day When Men Forget to Buy Gifts for Their Girlfriends and Colleagues

...
Какие виды кругом — каждое окно в доме было рамой своей особенной картины! С одной стороны Волга с крутыми берегами и Заволжьем; с другой — широкие поля, обработанные и пустые, овраги, и все это замыкалось далью синевших гор. С третьей стороны видны села, деревни и часть города. Воздух свежий, прохладный, от которого, как от летнего купанья, пробегает по телу дрожь бодрости. Дом весь был окружен этими видами, этим воздухом, да полями, да садом. Сад обширный около обоих домов, содержавшийся в порядке, с темными аллеями, беседкой и скамьями. Чем далее от домов, тем сад был запущеннее.

Подле огромного развесистого вяза, с сгнившей скамьей, толпились вишни и яблони: там рябина; там шла кучка лип, хотела было образовать аллею, да вдруг ушла в лес и братски перепуталась с ельником, березняком. И вдруг все кончалось обрывом, поросшим кустами, идущими почти на полверсты берегом до Волги. Подле сада, ближе к дому, лежали огороды. Там капуста, репа, морковь, петрушка. огурцы, потом громадные тыквы, а в парнике арбузы и дыни. Подсолнечники и мак, в этой массе зелени, делали яркие, бросавшиеся в глаза, пятна; около тычинок вились турецкие бобы.

Entrevista ao professor Martín

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Expreso de la Medianoche: Un Enigmático Juego.


El Orient Express, un tren de lujo que serpenteaba a través de la noche europea, fue escenario de un macabro juego. Un rico banquero fue encontrado sin vida en su compartimento, acuchillado. La puerta estaba cerrada desde dentro, y cada pasajero parecía tener un motivo para el crimen.

El detective, un hombre de mirada penetrante y métodos poco convencionales, se vio envuelto en un laberinto de mentiras y alibis. A medida que la investigación avanzaba, descubría que cada pasajero guardaba un secreto oscuro y que el asesinato era solo una pieza de un rompecabezas mucho más grande.

Una carta anónima, escrita con una tinta invisible, revelaba una conexión entre el banquero y una sociedad secreta. Una joya robada, con un grabado antiguo, parecía ser la llave para descifrar un enigma centenario. Y un testigo clave, un niño autista con una percepción extraordinaria, describía visiones crípticas que desafiaban toda lógica.

A medida que el tren se acercaba a su destino, el detective se encontraba cada vez más cerca de la verdad, pero también más lejos de la cordura. ¿Era el asesinato un simple acto de venganza, o formaba parte de un plan mucho más elaborado? ¿Y quién era realmente la víctima?
