  3. First try to improve your Vocabulary Saimurthy (i mean atleast 10 new words per day). Later practice reading English news papers daily for 30 mins. Here reading means, try to read as fast you can read as possible (while understanding the contents). In this way, try to improve your reading ability. This will help your eye to pic more words in single glance. This will help you do better Paragraph Questions. All The Best :)
