    • Capitalize “w” in “why”.
      “A” in “and” should be capitalized because it is at the outset of the sentence.
      Your first question: which facts are you talking about?

      • There should be some rules in criticizing people. The most important one is knowing the personality and characteristics of the person we are going to criticize. Some people has very sensitive personality,so we should be careful that our criticisms don’t bother them. The second factor is finding a suitable condition to criticize. It’s better to criticize people privately because most people usually become ashamed being criticized in front of others. The third one is knowing the way of expressing our criticisms. We should have in our mind that criticizing people should be done in respectful manners. We should focus on the intended specific matter and don’t relate it to other things. In other words we should not over generalize it.
