“You see, children, a

        student can join only one

        club. The choice is yours.

        You may join the Dramatics
        Club, Football Club,

        Swimming Club or Lawn

        Tennis Club.” “Thank you,

        ma’am.” Mukesh looked
        happy as he nodded.

        clubs of their choice. Shoma had great interest in watching badminton

        and lawn tennis matches. She  opted for Lawn Tennis Club. It was like

        a dream come true for her because she                               opted  made  a  choice  from  a  range

        lawn tennis. She also loved to watch Saina                          cover story  a  magazine  article
                                                                            that  has  an  illustration  on  the

        Sen, spoke to the members of Lawn Tennis                            typically  arranged  alphabetically

        That evening, Shoma sat down with a magazine that had the  cover

                                                   story on P. V. Sindhu. She also picked

                                                   up an encyclopaedia with details about

                                                   Serena Williams.
