ARTICULATION AT IT'S BEST!

I believe you should start reading Novels that interest you or the best would be "THE HINDU" newspaper. Initially it will be difficult to grasp the vocabulary used but daily reading will improvise your English.

Once you feel you are comfortable with the book, you can move on to other higher and good brands of books. Make reading newspaper a habit or you can start this reading habit from literature stories of primary academic books. They are simpler and good ones to start with. read less

I personally think, speaking and listening help more than reading. If I had to recommend a book I would say, pick up any Chetan Bhagat book. His books are easy to understand and also interesting so you don't feel bored and want to give up reading. Good Luck! :)

If you are looking for something a bit more grown up, try Edgar Allan Poe and Shashi Tharoor. Hope this helps! read less
