W: What do you like most about the airport environment?

W: Professor King, what exactly is critical thinking? 

M: Well, when you read critically, you should assess the writer’s ideas and think about the applications and the conclusions of what the writer is saying.

W: Can you give me an example?

M: When you read an academic text, first you should identify the argument and work out the writer’s main line of reasoning.

W: OK. What then? 

M: Try to analyze and criticize the argument. 

W: I see. That’s why you often ask whether the argument is presented in a logical way. 

M: Right! Then assess the evidence the writer gives you. That may be in the form of figures, survey results, examples etc. 

W: How about the writer’s conclusions?

M: Ask yourself if they are supported by the evidence.

W: Got it, thanks Professor King.

M: Remember the key to critical thinking is to read actively and keep asking yourself questions rather than just expecting.  (From-http://www.hxen.com)
