Developing critical reading competences at the English lessons: teaching text-messagewriting

The quality of our life and that of what we produce, make, or build depend precisely on the quality of our thought. Therefore excellence in thought must be systematically cultivated. Critical thinking is defined as the process of determining the authenticity, accuracy, and worth of information or knowledge claims. Being able to determine the main idea helps readers to recall important information. Locating the main idea and significant details helps the reader understand the points the writer is attempting to express. Identifying the relationship between these will improve comprehension.
