Nowadays, information and false information are pouring in on us, so there must be a person on his feet who is able to extract from each news feed what is the reality. The task requires critical thinking, which can be excellently developed and/or developed with the help of critical reading. The type of text is almost irrelevant, the point is the attitude. The moment we read a text without accepting everything, we develop our critical thinking skills. Whether it’s traveling at the speed of light or the world record for air retention, we improve our critical, source-finding and source-qualifying skills by checking the facts. Thanks to this attitude, we will not only be able to treat everyday news more critically, but also, for example, various (incredibly advantageous) offers made to us, which is a favorite tool of telephone and Internet fraudsters seeking our money.
