English Comprehension. How to answer them.

boobookitty

Hi, I am having really big problems with the comprehensions in english. At most, I barely scrape a 35/50 total marks but I really want to improve this.

I am currently attempting a text called
"Paul's First Day At Work"

It asks for you to give your impression on the workplace (a), the workers attitudes(b) and what advice you would give to the management. (c)

Does anyone have any tips on how to tackle these?
Thanks very much.

I would always recommend, which has been stated already, focusing on the marking scheme or PCLM - make sure you answer the question, give your answer cohesion, manage your language (short sentences and suitable paragraph structure, as well as making sure you are using correct language/terminology - who are you writing to/your audience etc) and spelling and grammar.
