Critical Thinking and Media Literacy

Critical thinking and media literacy are very important skills in today’s world, especially because we constantly consume information on social media, news websites, and digital platforms. In this entry, I reflect on the importance of thinking carefully before accepting any information as true. During my learning process, I have practiced identifying reliable sources, checking facts, and recognizing different opinions.

Media literacy also means understanding how images, headlines, and messages can influence our behavior or beliefs. For example, many people share news without reading the complete article, which can spread false information. Learning about these topics has helped me become a more responsible digital citizen and a more conscious English learner. Now I try to analyze information, ask questions, and search for objective data before forming an opinion.

    My Family and Daily Life During my English learning journey, one of the first topics I practiced was describing my family and daily routines. My daughter Ariana is the most important person in my life. She is 12 years old, studies in seventh grade, and loves skating and playing with her friends. Every day, we wake up early, have breakfast together, and talk about school and work. In the evenings, we like to watch movies or listen to music. Learning to describe my family has helped me gain confidence when talking about personal information. I have learned vocabulary about physical appearance, personality, routines, and hobbies. This topic has also helped me express emotions and describe moments that are special for us. Writing about my family in English feels meaningful because it connects my learning with my daily life.

I am a fan of Real Madrid, so I often watch their matches and comment on them with friends. I also enjoy exploring technology, especially topics related to programming and software development, because they are part of my professional training. Another hobby I practice is listening to music, which helps me relax after a long day. I also use music to improve my English pronunciation and vocabulary. By talking about my hobbies, I have learned how to use the present simple, express likes and dislikes, and describe activities I do in my free time. This topic has helped me connect English with things I truly enjoy .
