Lift the lid on the tank. Check the water level. It should have a mark on the back side of the tank and should be about 3/4" below the overflow pipe. Flush the toilet and watch the flapper at the bottom of the tank. If it closes before most of the water has left the tank, adjust the chain/strap that lifts it. It should be adjusted so that the flapper "just" seals. Flush again and watch the water flow from under the rim of the bowl. Are there large spaces between the streams of water? May have to clean out the holes from calcium deposits. If all this is working, you have a partial clog in the bowl or piping and will need to snake it out.

First make sure that it's filling up the tank properly. Sometimes this is caused by not having enough water in the tank to do a complete flush.

the easy, no cost way of doing it is simple. hold the handle down when you flush it until all the water is out. works great for those "wonderful" water saving toilets that don't work half the time.

try pushing a stick down it, something may be blocking it. or get hold of a plunger and try plunging it. if that doesnt work youll need a plumber.

Replace the black rubber seal / float that closes the water hole. It is not floating properly.
