Why critical thinking matters

Introduction

Some people don’t think for themselves when they read books. They only try to
understand what an author says. It’s true reading books is a good habit, but it will
not be more effective if you think for yourself.

Body

Critical thinking is the ability to analyze information objectively and make a better
judgement. Examining a text carefully is part of it.

You may get screwed over if you don’t think a text critically. What do you do when
you receive an email that promises you millions? What is your approach to this? If
you get such an email, you have to think critically. You have to doubt that it tells the
truth.

A book may also include false information or a writer may have a bias. So you
have to gather useful and reliable information and judge it for yourself if you
are not sure that they are sound on a topic. That’s because critical thinking
prevent us from believing in it without giving consideration to it

2020/01/24(金) 18:42:20.40

Conclusion

For the above reason, you should not read books passively. You should explore
other points of view and evaluate them and think critically. Then you can make
a more informed judgement. Critical thinking has the power to make your reading
better.

Introduction
I hear that 26 people have died from a new coronavirus in China and Japanese Foreign
Ministry will raise the infectious disease warning for China’s Hubei Province to the
second-highest level. But why doesn’t Japan impose travel restrictions with China?

Body
Some experts say the virus may not be as deadly as other types of coronavirus such as
SARS. So it seems that this is not as serious as MERS.

But much is still unknown about this virus. Although Chinese scientists say snakes may
be the source of it, we don’t know exactly about the origin of this type of coronavirus and
how easily it can be transmitted.

What we know for sure is that there is evidence of respiratory transmission of the virus
from patient to patient. The second patient in the US traveled to Wuhan in late
December and returned to the US on January 13. Two cases of a deadly new virus were
confirmed in France. Both of them had travelled to China. It has been spreading
worldwide.

Conclusion
The WHO says that it’s still too early to declare this is a global crisis, but the coronavirus
death toll has been rising in China and the virus has been spreading globally. So Japan
should restrict travel between Japan and China.

Introduction
41 people have been killed by the Wuhan coronavirus. In Japan Health authorities have
confirmed the country’s 3rd case of it after Japanese Foreign Ministry said it would raise
the infectious disease warning for China’s Hubei Province to the second-highest level.
The virus can spread widely in this country, so the Japanese government must make a
good decision.

2020/01/25(土) 18:19:43.30

Body
Some experts say the virus may not be as deadly as other types of coronavirus such as
SARS. But, according to a Hong Kong infectious disease expert, this new virus may be
more infectious than SARS. He says we have seen patients who have a pneumonia, but
has no symptom of fever or cough, so it is not easy to recognize the cases of novel
coronavirus infection and control the outbreak.

What we know for sure is that there is evidence of respiratory transmission of the virus
from patient to patient. The second patient in the US traveled to Wuhan in late
December and returned to the US on January 13. Three cases confirmed in Japan have
connection to Wuhan. The situation will become worse if we have started to have cases
that has no connection to Wuhan.

Much is still unknown about this virus. But scientists say they have confirmed that the
pneumonia-like disease was zoonotic or transmitted from an animal. Although Chinese
scientists say snakes may be the source of it, they are still investigating exactly what
creature is the source of the novel coronavirus.

It is true that we need to be mindful of condemning cultural practices but there will be
a great deal room for improvement about the problematic nature of “wet markets” in
Wuhan. It is said that a mixture of bodily fluids from live, wild creatures ends up mixing
with blood from butchered animals and provide ideal opportunities for viruses and
bacteria to thrive.

2020/01/25(土) 18:20:04.01

Conclusion
The WHO says that it’s still too early to declare this is a global crisis, but the coronavirus
death toll has been rising in China and the virus has been spreading globally. So Japan
must treat it seriously and make a good decision at this time to control the spread of the
virus, otherwise it is possible that Tokyo or other cities would become Wuhan.

Introduction
The Wuhan coronavirus has killed 56 people, almost all in Wuhan. More than 2000
people have been infected in China. Xi Jingping established a high-level committee and
Hong Kong raised its epidemic alert level to the highest. But can they really control the
situation?

In Japan Health authorities have confirmed the country’s 3rd case of it after Japanese
Foreign Ministry said it would raise the infectious disease warning for China’s Hubei
Province to the second-highest level.

The virus has been spreading around the world and can spread widely in Japan, so the

The WHO says that it’s still too early to declare this is a global crisis, but the coronavirus
death toll has been rising in China and the virus has been spreading globally. Australia’s
chief medical officer says that he would not be surprised if there are more cases in
Australia.

The U.S., France and other countries are said to be putting into place plans to evacuate
their citizens by air from the epidemic-stricken Chinese city of Wuhan.

There are Japanese people in Wuhan and it’s likely that there will be more cases here in
Japan. So Japan must be well-prepared and take a good measures to control the spread
of the virus, otherwise it is possible that Tokyo or other cities would become Wuhan.

Introduction
The Wuhan coronavirus has killed 56 people, almost all in Wuhan. More than 2000
people have been infected in China. Xi Jingping established a high-level committee and
Hong Kong raised its epidemic alert level to the highest. But a senior Hong-Kong based
virologist says the window for controlling its spread might already be closed. Can they
really control the situation?

In Japan Health authorities have confirmed the country’s 4th case of it the virus. The
virus has been spreading around the world and can spread widely in Japan, so the
Japanese government must take good measures to meet the situation.

2020/01/26(日) 21:02:24.82

Body
Some experts say the virus may not be as deadly as other types of coronavirus such as
SARS. But, according to a Hong Kong infectious disease expert, this new virus may be
more infectious than SARS. He says we have seen patients who have a pneumonia, but
has no symptom of fever or cough so it is not easy to recognize the cases of novel
coronavirus infection and control the outbreak.

According to The Guardian doctors on the ground weren’t testing for the new virus
thoroughly during the early days of the outbreak and this could have helped the virus
spread. Besides, it is said that the Wuhan government didn’t offer timely and effective
support and missed the best time for containing the outbreak.

If the disease came only from eating some kind of infected animal, we could manage to
stop the outbreak more easily. But we know that there is evidence of respiratory
transmission of the virus from patient to patient. The second patient in the US traveled
to Wuhan in late December and returned to the US on January 13. Four cases confirmed
in Japan have connection to Wuhan. Most of the patients were tourists from Wuhan and
residents who visited Wuhan. But the situation will become worse if we have started to

It seems that there are about 700 Japanese people in Wuhan and it’s likely that there
will be more cases here in Japan. So Japan must be well-prepared and take good
measures to control the spread of the virus. Prime Minister Abe says the government
will bring home all nationals who wish to leave the Chinese city of Wuhan once
arrangements have been made with the Chinese government. It is one of necessary
measures for the Japanese government to take, but screening for the virus is also
absolutely essential to stop the spread of it in Japan. There is evidence that patients who
doesn’t look unwell may carry the virus, so if the government fails to take effective
measurements, it is possible that Tokyo or other cities would become Wuhan.

Introduction
Demand for face masks has been soaring across the world. Mask manufacturers
are working to produce them, but they don’t keep up with the demand. Masks
are difficult to find now. Who needs them most in this situation? The elderly and
the sick.

Reason
When the elderly and the sick get infected by the Wuhan coronavirus, they can
be in a critical condition. The virus can lead to pneumonia, severe acute respiratory
syndrome, kidney failure and even death.

Conclusion
So, we should distribute masks to the elderly and those who are in bad health
first.

It seems that everything was either right or wrong in the mathematical world. But it’s
not true. There is uncertainty in it.

Kelsey Houston-Edwards says, “mathematicians agree to a remarkable degree on
whether a statement is true or false, but they cannot agree on what exactly the statement
is about. (1)”

Mathematicians don’t know what the fundamental nature of mathematical objects are.
100 mathematicians have 100 different points of view.

And furthermore, we already know that we cannot prove every mathematical statement.

As stated above, mysteries do exist in the mathematical world.

No need to be too cautious

There has been increasing concern about racist vitriol as fears about the spread
of the Wuhan Coronavirus continue. But we should not cause a panic.

It is said that people become more reluctant to go see a doctor when they’re
symptomatic if they become the objects of irrational hostility. So excessive anxieties
and fears can lead to the spread of viruses.

It’s important that to wash hands thoroughly with soap and cover your face, but
you don’t have to be too cautious.

There is no sign that the outbreak is abating. When will the situation return to normal?

The genome sequence of 2019-nCoV was made public in early January and it has
led to diagnostic tests for the virus. But we don’t have no vaccine for the coronavirus.

Virologists worldwide are sharing live samples and are in the process of developing
a vaccine. But according to health 24, it takes three months to develop a vaccine that
is approved for clinical use.

So the situation will not change for the better soon.

The World

Wandering into the world.
Without knowing why,
Are we forced to live.

Is it for real,
Or just an illusion?

For some people,
like Hamlet
Is it a prison
And they are forced to live
under sentence of death.

We Learn From Failure

The Introduction

Sometimes we fail. But, as John Dewey said, “Failure is instructive. The person who
really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes,” we can learn
from failure. Let’s consider the following examples.

2020/02/19(水) 12:34:17.72

The Body Paragraphs

A research shows that learning from failure is important. Hundreds of 5th grade children
in New York City schools were divided into two groups. One group was praised for being
smart while the other group was praised for their effort.

When they were presented with a very hard test designed for 8th graders, they reacted
differently. The students praised for intelligence felt depressed to think they are failures
when they made mistakes while the students praised for their effort tried hard
regardless of their failures.

Learning from errors can help us improve our performance. Albert Einstein said that
Science is a process of trial and error and Thomas Edison, the famed American inventor,
made thousands of mistakes before he invented the first light bulb. They didn’t have
negative emotions when they made mistakes. They were motivated by them and they
made the most of their failures.

2020/02/19(水) 12:34:28.24

The Conclusion

We can learn as much from failure as from success if we treat each error as a useful
experience We don’t expect us to be perfect and we do make mistakes, so we have to
manage negative emotions. It will be more likely to achieve success in the future if you
have a positive attitude and try to overcome setbacks when you make mistakes.

I think students who obtained good scores in the test of NY were in a
type which don't know how to make a effort to study anything.
If they were smart, I think such people would like to be left to themselves in their
study. They would try to find their subject to attain for themselves, and
endeavor to conquer it spending every time of them, even if forgetting the time to
eat.

Harry was a dog. A white dog with black spots. He liked everything except for one thing.
He didn’t like getting a bath. So one day he buried the scrubbing brush in the backyard
because he didn’t want to be washed in the tub.

Then Harry went out to play. He played where they were fixing the street and got very
dirty. Now he looked like a black dog with white spots.

He went home but his family didn’t recognize him. The poor dog did all the ricks he could
do, but it was use trying. He wondered if he had to leave the house, but suddenly he just
remembered! Harry ran to the yard and started to dig and found the scrubbing brush.

He went into the house and jumped into the tub with the brush in his mouth. When the
children scrubbed him, they recognized him, shouting “It’s Harry.”

After dinner, he fell asleep, dreaming of going out and getting dirty again.

Thesis statement

A 2019 survey showed that Japan has the ability to prevent a virus epidemic, but the
country is failing to take effective public health measures and the public is losing faith
in its ability to cope with a pandemic.

Arguments

1 Japan couldn’t control the spread of the COVID-19 on a cruise ship
1-1 a Japanese infectious specialist criticized the handling of quarantine on a cruise ship,
saying it was run by bureaucrats and he found basic protocol violations.
1-2 CDC (the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) criticized the way of
handling the quarantine

2 Many people doubt that Japan is doing enough to stop the spread of the Wuhan
coronavirus
2-1 Japan’s Health Minister apologized after a woman who tested negative and was
allowed to leave the cruise ship was found to have been infected
