Young friend, Its nice to meet you again on this portal.
I have been telling my students and infact, emphasize on reading newspapers as an effective way to enrich English language. You speak what you read. You read what happened in the society. Current affairs,education, politics, science, IT,economy,sports and what not?.
School or college toppers:The well-informed is the winner, this is absolutely true. You might have come across the toppers in your school or college. Note the fact that they prepare themselves for higher education by amassing knowledge reading not only books relevant to their study but also newspapers.
An youngster has got to know the happening around him or her. Even for Administrative services examinations, the communication skills are of paramount importance. The candidate communicating his or her views efficiently not only with fluency but with the right choice of words and examples relevant to the current trend get selected.
The reading exercise:I suggest you to read newspapers atleast 5 days in a week. Write down what you read in a note book on education, sports and also science.
These different categories enrich your vocabulary apart from your domain expertise.
