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.
