Twitter data to DataFrame

Now that you have the Twitter data in a list of dictionaries tweets_data, where each dictionary corresponds to a single tweet, it's time to extract the text of the tweets, along with the language of the tweet. The text in a tweet t1 is stored as the value t1['text']; similarly, the language is stored in t1['lang']. Your task is to build a DataFrame in which each row is a tweet and has two columns, one for text, the other for lang.
