A critic is like a special friend who tells you what they think about something you made or did. Imagine you drew a picture and showed it to someone. A critic would look at your picture and say what they liked about it and what they thought could be better. They use their words to help you see your work in a new way. It’s like having a mirror that talks back and gives you advice.

Think of a critic like a taste tester for food. When you cook a meal, a critic is the one who takes a bite and says, ‘This is yummy!’ or ‘Maybe it needs a little more salt.’ They help chefs make their food even tastier. Just like that, critics help artists, writers, and movie makers make their work even better.

A critic can also be like a coach for a sports team. Coaches watch how players run and throw the ball. They tell the players what they did well and how they can improve. Critics do the same for books, movies, and plays, helping them shine even brighter.
