Having nothing to write about is, perhaps, the greatest fear of a student about to begin an essay for an IELTS or TOEFL test. However, critical thinking isn’t such a difficult skill to master. In fact, many of you will have already used this valuable skill in your life.

Suppose one of your friends recommends a movie by saying ,“It’s a really wonderful movie and definitely worth 【1】 (watch).”,Instead of simply taking the recommendation, you may ask the question“Why is it wonderful?”By doing this you are thinking critically. A more professional term to define this process 【2】 (call) identifying ambiguity, which is regarded as the key stage in thinking critically.

Let’s look at following examples from IELTS Writing Task.

Detailed description of crimes on newspaper and TV have consequence for society, so this kind of information should be restricted in the media. To what extend do you agree or disagree with this statement.

To think critically, the fist thing 【3】 (consider) isn’t whether you agree or not. You should instead try to clarify the words “detailed description of crimes” by asking yourself 【4】 these details might be. Then you should come up with a list like this :

1.Investigating the target victim before the crime

2.Measures to avoid 【5】 (track)by the police

3.Bloody crime scenes.....

After that ,it won’t be hard for us to groups these details, leading eventually to two paragraphs: some disclosure of information may allow people to protect themselves from crime. However,it is not appropriate for many other details 【6】 (release)to the general public.
