There is many language speaks in UK different than English. These languages became useful in this country after the people moved to UK with the time and became citizens. For example, the Turkish people in UK and them history and who they are today.

What does ‘critical thinking ‘ mean for me?

I think it does mean write in academic way or formal way. That thing helps the students for example with them essays. The teachers now help the student to think in critical thinking to improve them skills in writing.
