Halo semua! Selamat pagi, siang, sore dan malam! 
Akhir-akhir ini saya sangat sibuk, jadi hanya punya sedikit waktu untuk membuat podcast. Maaf ya! 
Oh iya, hari sabtu akhir minggu lalu, saya pergi dengan teman saya ke museum kereta. Saya mendapat tiket cuma-cuma dari teman saya itu. “Cuma-cuma” artinya “gratis”, “free”, atau di Bahasa Jepang artinya “無料”. Wah, saya senang banget! Kami sangat menikmati hari itu. Kami juga makan di restoran yang terkenal dengan cumi-cumi goreng! Haha… “Cumi-cumi” adalah “イカ” di Bahasa Jepang, dan “squid” di Bahasa Inggris. Hari itu sangat menyenangkan! Tiket cuma-cuma dan makan cumi-cumi! Lain kali saya mau makan cumi-cumi cuma-cuma! Kalian bisa mengerti artinya? Haha…. Ok, hari ini sampai di sini ya, dadah!

Chinese language has not many syllables, as a result, many Chinese words that sound the same have totally different meanings. The feature of Chinese allows speakers to use homophones quite often. There are six types of homophone rhetoric. This voice will introduce the first type.

स्याल र पाठो ( The fox and the lamb)
एकपटक एउटा स्यालले बाख्राको पाठो देख्यो। स्यालले बाख्राको पाठो खाने विचारले पाठाको पछिपछि लाग्यो l तर पाठो अलि टाढै थियो, उसले पनि स्याललाई देख्यो र स्यालबाट बच्न दौडिँदै भाग्न थाल्यो l तर पाठो  जति दौडिए पनि स्याल भने नजिक नजिक आउँदै थियो। यस्तैमा तिनीहरू एउटा घरको नजिकै पुगे l .............................................................

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.
