Vikas,
Not sure if your question is an assignment or are you expecting some of us to share our story.
Considering it is the first one, my suggestion is to think of a time when you learned something from a life situation, specifically, when things did not go as you planned and that outcome made you learn something new.

Answer to your first question:
To improve your speaking abilities listen to more English conversations and try to focus on the phrases. Skilled readers recognise patterns in words rather than sound words out, letter by letter. Word families, also known as phonograms, rimes, or chunks.
Answer to your second question ( how could I improve my General English which is asked in competitive exams):
From your question, I understand that you are referring to the verbal reasoning in exams like GRE, GMAT, or CAT. I would advise you to either join to academies or hire professionals or Subject Matter Experts online.

Hi Sanya,
It's a good idea to sign up for a TOEFL course before taking TOEFL exam if you are not sure about your English language proficiency. You can either approach TOEFL/IELTS training centres or individual trainers who have command over the language and knowledge about TOEFL exam pattern.
