    Third term test

    Text :

    In the world of science, the apple is not just an ordinary fruit rather it is the symbol of great
    discovery, which led the foundation of our scientific age. The apple was the miracle that helped the
    famous physicist "Issac Newton" to discover gravity in 1687.

    One day, Issac Newton was reading a book under an apple tree on the farm, suddenly an apple fell
    down. For a lot of people that would be the end of the story, but not for Issac Newton. He was asking
    himself all the time "Why did the apple fall down? " and he spent many years answering this question
    by thinking and doing experiments

    After all his theories, he came up to an interesting conclusion; it was because of gravity that the
    apple fell down.
