Read as much as you can. Take a paragraph that you have read, and then summarise it in your mind, ask yourself questions about what you have read and then re-write it in your own words. I would have hoped that your teachers would have made it clear that comprehension is just that simple.
I do not agree that unsure's comments are intimidating - a dictionary will tell you that intimidation implies a threat. The comment is a critical opinion, certainly, and open to discussion. However, I'm glad to see that you obviously are capable of excellent spelling when you try - both grammatical and intimidating were most precisely spelt.

I had no intention of patronising Arnesh. He appears to be an 11 - 13 year old boy taking entrance exams for two schools, as he has declared on other posts on the Forum. I was merely commenting on the variation in the accuracy of his spelling from post to post.
Given that Arnesh's post concerns comprehension, I felt it was worthwhile distinguishing between the meaning of "intimidating" and "critical" comment. That is precisely the sort of distinction that comprehension exercises are designed to test.
