What is Critical Thinking?

Why Critical Thinking is Important in English
When you read or listen to English, critical thinking helps you understand the message and the speaker's main goal. It helps you tell the difference between facts and opinions.

Asking Questions for Critical Thinking
Asking good questions is a key part of critical thinking. You can use 'Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?' to start. Also, questions like 'Do you think...?', 'How reliable is...?', or 'What evidence supports...?' help you dig deeper. These questions make you evaluate information instead of just accepting it.

- Ask about reliability and evidence.
