A Step into 21st Century


 Last Friday I started a training program on 21st century skills and the very first lesson was mostly a wonderful discussion. Beginning with a presentation on critical thinking, we discussed different questions such as “What is critical thinking?”, “Who is a critical thinker?”, What type of qualities differentiate a strong and weak critical thinker from each other?”. After discussing all these questions some of us stated that their perspective on critical thinking had changed accordingly. Then, we participated in some kind of a game about understanding a critical thinker’s mind and we chose the possible statements which a critical thinker might make in some situations. It was fun!

 In the second part of our training session, our teachers Melda Yılmaz and Dilek İnal trained us about English’s being a global language. Throughout our lesson, we discussed different criteria that make English a global language. I personally think that English is a global language because of the power English speaking countries have and the need of connecting with one another as a world. 


 In a nutshell, our first lessons was a success as a beginning and I hope that as qualified students we can make much deeper discussions together. This way a better experience can take place. 



See you next week!

If you are interested in different topics or want to see my progress, you may check my works. There are a few paragraphs written in different styles. For the beginning, I'm letting you read the first ever paragraph that I have written in college. READ AS FAMILY   Friends mean family to me. When one of us is out of money, there is always a solution for that. We can do everything for one another. If it is necessary we work and earn money for the one who is in need. More importantly, if one of us is not going through good times, every one of us will rush to help. Those are the things that make our relationship stronger than others’. Also, we never use a single word to offend one another. Even if we’re mad as hell, we never say something that could offend others. Being that kind gives us a chance of discussing...
