    I would like to ask permission to copy some text from you website/vlog for the learning modules i am making . This pandemic COVID 19 does not allow us to have a face to face class interaction so we are required to make some module learning to facilitate the learning and these modular lessons will be given to our student for free to study in their respected houses.
