Answer

"That" means something that is a bit more remote.  This is "right here"; immediate.  E.g.  "That is a good question" - someone else has asked a question;  "This is a good question" - the person's question or a question he/she has discovered on their own.

It all depends on context.  With practice, you will get better!!!!
