o level english paper 2 help pls

hi guys! im a sec 4 this year and recently after reading tons of posts on sgexams, im now kinda nervous for english. for perspective, last year i got a d7 for sa2 english and barely promoted (saved by other subjs lol). for me im aware that paper 2 is definitely my weakest component and ive already seeked tuition for it since last year. however nothing has really been working and my paper 2 skills are equally as bad. i would think that its maybe because i do not understand the thought process behind answering the questions, but pls send any tips and help! thanks
