This year, I improved my critical thinking skills through collaborative presentations with friends. Working together required us to analyze information, evaluate different perspectives, and decide on the best way to convey our ideas effectively. For example, while preparing a presentation, I had to critically assess which points were most relevant and impactful for our audience and work with my group to organize the content logically.

To prepare, I communicated openly with my teammates, sharing my ideas and listening to theirs. We held discussions to brainstorm key topics, resolve disagreements, and ensure everyone was aligned with our goals. I also contributed by asking thoughtful questions to refine our arguments and suggesting solutions to challenges, such as time constraints or gaps in our content. Through this process, I developed stronger problem-solving skills and learned how to collaborate effectively, blending critical thinking with clear communication to deliver a cohesive presentation.
