Step-by-step explanation:

For this & that and these & those, it is author's choice on some occasions but not all. Context also plays a big part. For example, if a friend says "this is what I want to tell you" before telling you a story, clearly the word "that" would not work in this sentence ("that" would only work if your friend is saying this phrase after telling you a story).
