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:

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.
