Critique on Abstract

Abstract is 850 words long and describing the aims, mission, methods, results and conclusion. Abstract have written in a good form in order to aware the things written in the article.

Abstract is good in clearing my concepts regarding the topic. Abstract tells each and everything in easy wording and, I find the topic interesting at the first instance.
