Critical thinking(批判性思维) is trying to improve the way you think. People use critical thinking in every area of life to solve problems and evaluate claims(评估主张) Like every other skill, critical thinking takes practice. When a problem comes our way, we need to think critically to decide how to solve it. When we see an advertisement, for example, we should stop and think. Advertisements are made to make people feel certain that they are true, and then people can buy the products. But is what the advertisement says true? Is it making a claim? Or does it only int erest us? Critical thinking is important and stops us from making poor choices. In fact, we are using it if we ask questions naturally about what we see.
Practice makes perfect. While you are growing in critical thinking, you' ll become a wiser and more thoughtful person. There are many ways of doing practice. Here are a few.
Read about a topic people disagree on. Look at articles or books on all sides of the subject. For each side of the subject, think carefully and evaluate it.
When you see or hear a claim, ask questions about it. Who is making the claim and why?
Evaluate your own thinking. Where and why do you think uncritically? How can you improve? Critical thinking should be part of everything we do. It may help you to succeed at work or school. Make yourself into a habit of critical thinking. Change your thoughts and change your world.

Simple tips on ROAD TRIP PREPARATION Preparing a road trip can be tiring. There are a few things you can do to make it a success. | |
①SERVICE YOUR CAR Keep your car running well by getting an oil change before you head out on the road. Check the tires (轮胎) too! You'll save yourself a headache later on. | ③TAKE THINGS TO DO While road trips are definitely (确定地) about the destination (目的地), make sure you pack things for your kids to do to kill the time. At least for an hour or two. It will stop them from complaining all the time. |
②DON'T FORGET THE SNACKS The only thing worse than "Are we there yet?" is "I'm hungry!" every 2 minutes. So pack snacks. Lots of snacks. | ④STOP FREQUENTLY Half of the road trip is getting there. There is nothing fun about getting to your destination completely exhausted (筋疲力尽的). Stop at cool places, get some fresh air and take a look around. |
