Most of our students cannot write out their examination papers fairly. As they cannot understand the questions properly, they often beat about the bush and cram their answers with irrelevant and unnecessary details. Sometimes they also fail to arrange their answers neatly, clearly and systematically. Although the teacher suggests that their answer should be brief and precise, they often lengthen them unnecessarily. Where size does not matter at all, they have a silly notion that the more they write, the more will be their marks. The reality is just opposite, their long answers generally become disgusting. Such answers always earn unhappy marks. In order to get expected marks, all you should do, is to understand the questions well and answer them just to the point. Don't worry, if your answers are fairly short, you should not pay any time, they may sound discordant. Be sure your sentences make sense. Above all you need a clear presentation. To answer the short comprehension you should not copy anything blindly from the passage. Try to answer the questions more or less in your own English. Frame your answer exactly in the same tense and aspect as the questions are in. Don't forget to write short and simple sentences. Plain and clean English is not bad.
