Ysidore, le fier
Ysidore, le coq, se prend pour le roi ! Son cocorico réveille tout le monde ! Pendant la journée, il se promène d’un air fier et surveille les poules.
- Poule grise, fais ceci ; poule blanche, ne fait pas cela ! Il donne des ordres sans cesse.
Un jour, toutes les poules ont décidé de se cacher dans la niche du chien.
Ysidore les a cherchées partout. Plus de poules à commander, que faire ?
Alors il a donné un coup de bec à Grognon, le chat, qui dormait au soleil.
- Lève-toi, gros paresseux, dit-il !
Grognon s’est dressé et, d’un coup de patte, lui a arraché la queue !
Honteux, Ysidore s’est caché dans un coin. Depuis, les poules se promènent sans crainte dans la cour de la ferme.

Emotional intelligence, or EQ, helps us stay calm, focused, and motivated.
Without it, frustration takes over.  The crow wanted a prize but couldn’t manage her emotions. She got impatient — and lost it all.

How can you use critical thinking more? Listen to the podcast to find some tips.

-------------------------

In English exams like the IELTS test, there are speaking or writing questions that require critical thinking skills. If you feel weak in this area, you’re not alone. Many people do. The reason is that critical thinking is challenging, and this isn’t helped by the fact that not all education systems or schools focus the same energy on developing such skills. So what does it mean to think critically, and how can you do it more often?

***What is critical thinking?***

There are many different aspects to critical thinking. It may be about using your knowledge to predict what consequences different actions will have. It may be about looking at information and then forming opinions or reaching conclusions. It may also be about understanding when some important information is missing, and being able to gather the extra information that you need. In your work life or student life, these skills are vital for finding solutions to problems. If you have them and can present your analyses to other people effectively, you will be a valued member of any forward-thinking team.

---------------------------

If you want to work on your critical thinking with a qualified, experienced teacher, and to practise applying it when speaking or writing, please get in contact with me or book a class.

The Lion and the Mouse Aesop fable.
Take an English Lesson with Carl https://italki.com/teacher/1947582
Once upon a time there was a lion who was hunting for food in the forest.
In the afternoon he was tired and sleepy,
so he slept under a tree.
A little mouse came and ran on the lion's back not knowing that it disturbed the lion.
The lion woke up and was angry.
He caught the mouse and roared,
"I will eat you up now."
