Best way to improve vocabulary / reading skills?
There is only one solution to your question , that is reading . Developing a reading habit on a daily basis is the most important primary step towards achieving good language skills or to imporve vocabulary.Read whatever you can,be it newspaper, books,posters,articles and so on.Even while watching english movies read the subtitles.But reading alone will not be enough , the next step would be to use what you have learnt by speaking and writing . Along with reading habit, develop writing habit too. Some vocabulary development books are " Word power made easy" by Norman Lewis, "The vocabulary builder workbook" by Chris Lele, "All about words" by Maxwell Nurnberg .You can use many online apps too which are built for improving vocabulary ,these apps will have many quizzes which you can play whenever you are free. But do not simply rely on apps and self help books , make reading a serious habit.

I want to make good command on vocabulary.plz give me suggestions
Hi Aman,
English is now must not only as a subject but more effectively as a mode of communication. We cannot express ourselves without having a good bank of vocabulary. To define a certain task we need to have good command over vocabulary.
You can increase your vocabulary by remembering words with their various meanings and uses. Not only you need to remember, you have to practice and use it in daily conversation. Talk to your parents and friends and make use of the word which you have learnt recently. This is the most effective way. Besides you can read English newspaper daily and note down the words whose meaning and uses is unknown to you. You can watch English movies and read novels to enhance your vocabulary.
I am ascertain that following this you will definitely enhance your vocabulary and will have a large number of words in your vocabulary bank.
All the best.
in English Im unable to speak very confidentiality so how can I improve my English......., so that I can communicate with more confidence , and also what would be the best channel in YouTube for learning English courses in order to improve vocabulary and all....
See, in order to have a good command over language, it's important to be acquainted with its basics, if you already have a good hold over grammar and the only barrier is feeling confident, then practice it more and more, try to start with your family and friends, reading novels and watching movies, various educational channels in youtube will make you a lot more confident. There's an app in playstore called cake, it's a very good one and helps you improve your diction, so you can try that,it evaluates you how you speak well, so in a way acts like a parameter.
A group of four students have been given the topic "How to abolish child labour in our country" for group discussion. you are part of this group. write out the group discussion. use items from the vocabulary section to answer appropriately.
Hello,
As a part of the discussion group, I would put forward the points mentioned below. you can add names to each point for it to look like a conversation among the four people.
- Stringent laws should be made and more importantly should be implemented.
- Awareness must be spread among the parents of the children and people who employ children in various activities.
- Abolishing poverty will go hand in hand with abolishing child labor.
- Education as a primary/fundamental right must be preserved. More opportunities for children to learn different skills must also be provided. Education must be in a fun filled way along with giving them vocational training in small aspects to make them self employed/ get good work conditions.
- Help and encourage the NGOs that work towards this noble cause. It is important as they can reach the grass roots at local level and also bring in more volunteers to work.
-- You have not mentioned the vocabulary section. Nevertheless, I tried to make use of different terms associated with the topic.
Hope this helps
Thanks.

Sir, I am very poor in grammar , vocabulary conclusionly very very weak in English and no awareness of static GA And age 20 , i there any chance of mine cracking Bank exam within 2 years please Help me i am feeling so depressed with my career
2 years is more than enough to clear any bank exams, even if you start from scratch. For building up your vocabulary and English language skills, start reading books, watch english movies. 'Word Power' is a good book which will help you in this.
For general awareness start reading any english newspaper, The Hindu or Indian Express are recommended. Also, watch news, read basics about our country, its geography, political structure.
For bank specific preparation, you can join any coaching institute, it will help you to provide a direction.
Have faith in yourself, you will improve gradually.
Good luck

Your question is bit incomplete and ambiguous. Kindly,mention the name of the entrance examination you are going to appear for so that,I can help you in a better way.. If the examination gives the option of multiple languages,then pick up the one you are comfortable in. In order to improve vocabulary,read newspapers and books extensively
