Thinking Critically

From the beginning of the semester till now, I have changed the way of thinking and I’m starting to think critically unintentionally to almost everything. Reflecting on my weekly blogs, I think I’m improving week after week. So in this blog, I decided to do some critical thinking on my previous blogs to reflect on my improvements and difficulties I am encountering.

During the first weeks of this semester I wrote on different topics, in order to make myself thinking critically about different topics. This is also helping me formulate constructive criticism, where one criticize in a manner that is valid and expresses own opinions.

There were blogs which I know that should have been written better, particularly their written structure and arguments. Although it’s a short task that I have to do weekly, sometimes I find it difficult to find the right time to write properly. Sometimes my difficulty when writing in English is my vocabulary, which I know that it could be improved, at the same time, I feel that I’m improving from time to time by practice. One of the reasons I struggle to find the appropriate vocabulary, is the lack of reading during the last summer holidays, because reading is a very important practice to flourish one’s vocabulary.

Building up arguments is a bit challenging, especially now that I’m aware of the methods that could be used to have stronger arguments. I still find it difficult when it comes to building up well-structured arguments and I’m aiming to work on that to improve further in the coming weeks.
