Paragraph
              A paragraph is a collection of relevant sentences with a common theme. It begins with an introduction of a theme,
              followed by sentences describing a theme and ends with a statement supporting a common idea. For example:

                 Water is an essential component of our life. With its scarcity all across the world it is becoming a threat to the
                existence of life on earth. With rising levels of pollution, water resources are being depleted rapidly. The entire
                Earth consists of 71% water, out of which only a small percentage is drinkable freshwater. It is therefore very
                essential to save water, to save lives.


              Rules for writing a paragraph
                 • It begins on a new line.
                 • The first line has an indentation.

                 • It focuses on a main theme.
