You might want to see some websites about critical thinking.  This will help you to evaluate the information that others give you, and to determine whether it is fact, opinion, science, philosophy, or out-and-out lies.

Firstly READ, READ, READ. It really helps alot. English classes are okay too but set goals, like everyday read a chapter (or less) of a book and any words you don't understand, look them up. Practice speaking and thinking in English, at first it will be difficult and sound grammatical incorrect but you'll get the hang of it soon\n\nAlso tapes and books on English will help a great deal.

Pause for a moment, try one of the following to give yourself some time to think.\n\n"That's an interesting question"  \n"I've never thought about that, let me think...."\n"Give me a moment to think about that"\n"I don't have much experience with that, what do YOU think?"\n\nThen use basic, simple words.

First, be sure to use spell check.  Find out if there are any learning centers in your area.  Once you've written a piece, take it apart, sentence by sentence.  Make a checklist for yourself:  Correct Spelling, Correct Grammar, Ties Into Main Topic, etc. and then go through the paper, sentence by sentence and make sure each sentence meets the criteria.  There are a million resources out there, if you are willing to try them.  Start by consulting a teacher or going to a learning center.  Last but not least, the best way to improve your writing skills is to write and write often.  Anytime you have a story in your head, write it down.  Practice makes perfect.

No, don't read that book, use your own answers.  Think for yourself and grow in intelligence.\n\nTake a sheet of paper and just FREE THINK, that is, write whatever comes to your mind on the subject, no matter how silly it may sound.  After you fill up a page or whatever, go ahead and read them.\n\nPull aside several words and place them in an outline form.  Next, write a few paragraphs on each (dependent on the length of the speech).

Buying more expensive recipes makes someone a better cook? Not necessarily.\n\nYou hit part of the equation of self-improvement in the part of your statement about basketball. To get better at a skill, practice of proper technique can be invaluable.\n\nI have some problems with the nature of your final question, though. First of all, I seldom see the value of intellectualism as a competitive sport. I think the true value of knowledge and understanding comes from constantly trying to improve one's self, not from trying to be better than "that person" or "this person". Not to mention that your hypothetical "person who knows EVERYTHING" doesn't exist.\n\nAlso, I think you're confusing two separate things to equate "being smarter" with "knowing more". It's a common misconception - that the acquisition and recitation of facts are somehow indicators of intelligence. After all, most of us think the people on "Jeopardy!" to be quite smart, no?\n\nThe two are not so closely linked, though. People can learn massive amounts of information, but lack an ability to critically analyze that information. That case would mark a person as the flesh and blood equivalent of an encyclopedia. Useful for attaining bits of information, sure - but you wouldn't ask the Encylcopedia Britannica to make a decision for you.\n\nOf course, there is some correlation. People inclined towards critical analysis tend to desire a more in-depth understanding of issues and situations, and so *may* be better informed as to the complexities of a topic. Just thought it was necessary to point out that these are two different things.\n\nSo, what's your goal? Is it to know more facts about a topic or series of topics than another person? In that case, pick your topics, find some reliable books of reference, and start reading. Take notes if that's your style, develop some memory mnemonics if they help you remember, et cetera. But I would suggest that this is not a very rewarding endeavor, by itself.\n\nIf your actual question is about critical thinking skill - if you want to enhance your ability to examine situations, make decisions, etc. . my suggestion would be to focus on understanding the nature of logical analysis and critical thinking. These topics aren't touched on nearly enough in American education - I don't know where you are from, but my (limited) knowledge tells me this is true in most educational systems.\n\nLook for books in your local library or bookstore - or just do a little bit of internet research - on critical thinking and logical analysis. There's a wealth of material out there that explicitly details the structure of argument, logical deduction, and so on.\n\nFor interpersonal debate, I find a study of logical fallacies to be invaluable. One of my favorite books on this subject - although by no means authoritative - is called "Attacking Faulty Reasoning", if you're interested. There are, however, plenty of free resources out there on this topic as well.\n\nHope this helps. Learn, try to understand, practice analytical skills - it's not all that different from learning to play basketball.

There are a lot of memorization techniques you can learn. Decide what kind of learner you are and then think up a technique accordingly. Like if you learn visually, try to imagine a picture to each question. And associate that with he question. An audio learner? Maybe you can make a song in your head or a "pattern" (Kind of like how you would memorize a phone number). There are a lot of things you can do just be creative. Think about the things you learned the easiest and think about why you learned it so fast OTHER then just being very interested int he subject. Good luck.\n\nOn a side note I am an audio learner so if I have somsone speek what I need to remember to me... I have a 70% better chance of learning it... In my opinion anyway. It works for me.

I suggest you just learn as much as you can. period. Do different types of puzzles and brain exercises. Learn languages. Meditate. Study martial arts. Take up a sport.

Basically, anything that exercises your memory skills will help to improve them.\n\nThere are also mental tricks you can do to help yourself. Find ways of associating new things you want to remember with things that are important to you, and particularly if you can find a visualization for it, or relate it to a well known rhyme or song.  If you just meet someone and want to remember their name, try to associate them with someone else you already know by that name, including celebrities, etc.\n\nAs far as physiology goes, eat right, exercise, get at least 8 hours of sleep a night, take multivitamins daily, and - oddly enough - floss daily.  The reason for the last one is that studies have linked cardiovascular health to dental health (which is cause, which is effect?  who knows), and cardio health has been linked to mental acuity.

just read, think, think think, then right down whatever comes to your brain. After a while, it's the action that's the hardest part not the idea.

Find ways to incorporate motion into your studying (writing, flashcards, etc.).\n\nGet a board game like trivial pursuit, monopoly, etc., make new cards with the information you need to learn, and play the game, drawing one card each turn and answering it before you get to move your piece.\n\nTo memorize lists, go get a basketball, and bounce the ball. For each bounce, say one item on your list.\n\nTo remember and analyze overall concepts, find a way to apply them around your house (especially for science). For social studies, find something you can do that is close to what the historical figures did (but safer), and do it while thinking about them.
