copy and paste only mah.. then u must know how to answer "irony" questions, and how to answer in your own words.

i think if u dun understand the compre, read it once or twice more, then read the all the questions....
after that u should roughly get the idea of the compre...
i did that for my a level GP and got a quite good result.

Well, comprehension involves numerous skills, and it's really very difficult to teach you over the internet like this. It's still better to go back to your teacher for help. Nevertheless I'll just give you a bit of breakdown of the different types of comprehension questions and what to look out for.
1. Literal/factual questions These are the type whose answers can be found and lifted directly from the passage. They typically are the "who/what/when/why/where/how" sort of questions.
2. Inferential questions These are questions whose answers cannot be found directly in the passage, but require some guessing and interpretation. They usually begin with "Why do you think", "What do you think", "Do you think" or "Suggest".
3. Rephrasing questions These are the "in your own words" questions. Some are more like inferential questions, but for some rephrasing questions the answers might be found directly in the passage, but you have to answer in your own words, i.e. replace some words or use an entirely new sentence to express the same idea.
4. Vocabulary The "replace or explain the word in 7 words or less" questions. If you do not already know the meaning of the word, try using clues in the passage to help you.
5. Summary Carries most of the marks in the comprehension. Make sure you give yourself sufficient time to do it, and do it as best as you can.
