Running 2.4km?

Question

Well, I have to do this fitness test and i need to run 2.4km (that's about 1.5 mile.)

I always have this problem that i can't catch up my breath. i inhale 2 times and exhale 2 times.

I ran 1.6km without stopping but after that, i need to stop and rest and then run again. last year i ran in about 21 minutes. now 16.25 minutes. ( last week when i had the first try) I still want to improve my timing for next year's fitness test.

how do i improve my timing or speed?

You should work up.  Breathing wise, I can't answer that, when I run I have a rhythm that I don't break, just find what is right, if you're standing in line or just walking around try different breathinh techniques and see what is best for you.  Start with a .5 mile.  Time yourself.  Then run it again for like 2 or three times.  The go to a mile. Do that and just work it up.  You will get there and succeed, but it will take a lot of hard work and effort, but you'll get there.  Remember, if you don't put 110% into what you do, you'll never acomplish anything.
