I would like to express my special thanks of
gratitude to my English teacher as well as our
principal who gave me the golden opportunity to
do this wonderful project on the topic

about so many new things.
Secondly, I would also like to thank my parents
and friends who helped me a lot in finalizing this
project within the timeframe.
A project is a bridge between theoretical and
practical learning and with this thinking I worked
