CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This is the first chapter of the thesis template. This is to indicate the formatting style of
the report. The line spacing is 1.5, with the indent at the new paragraph.
The new paragraph can start in the next line, with no gap. There is an indentation of
0.2 at the beginning of the paragraph. Paragraph in the thesis will always be justified,
not left-centered.

First bullet.
Second bullet is to be inserted like this. This bullet is being inserted just to
demonstrate the paragraph features in the itemize environment. Itemize is a
standard name of the Bullet format if you are using LaTeX word editor.
Start the next paragraph after a gap of one line. And we can continue to consume more
paper.
Similarly, we can write the other chapters.
