About Critical Thinking
I started to read a book about Critical Thinking last week. Because I often hear this word in recent years but don't know what on earth it is. In the first chapter of the book, it introduces two ways of thinking: Sponge Thinking and Gold Panning Thinking.
Sponge Thinking means your way of thinking is similar to the reaction when sponge meets the water: absorption. You can benefit from it for learning new informations, but the bad side is that you will believe the last info you hear or read without your personal reasoning. So this is where Gold Panning Thinking comes in. The key point of Gold Panning Thinking is gaining the most reasonable conclusion by asking correct questions. Just like gold panning, you will gain the gold only if you filter the impurities.

Very well-written ; I've just suggested improvements in your choice of words.
