Suggested introduction that can be written in any topic of civilization (adding just the topic done
in the subject)

Thousands of years ago, there were many major civilization in the word. Most of them were
know by their growth and development in all fields of history. All civilizations went through three
steps: rise, flourish and collapse and they were all rose along rivers.

Suggested conclusion:

To sum up we can say that all civilizations left a big thumb in history and they made great
contributions to the development of today’s world, the reason why we have to protect them because
they are considered as the identity of any country.
