Writing a Conclusion
Conclusions are just as important as introductions. The conclusion closes the essay and tries to close the issue. The aim is to convince the reader that your essay has covered all the most important arguments about the issue and that your opinion is the best position on the issue. You should not present any new arguments in your conclusion.
The following table lists the do's and don'ts of writing a conclusion.
Do
· Make a statement to indicate you are ending your easy
· Briefly summarise your main points
· Keep it short and sweet – 5 to 7 sentences maximum
· Make sure your contention, or point of view, is clear
· Be authoritative on the subject “This is why….” Not “I think….”
· End strongly, either with a persuasive technique or a strong statement
Don't
· Start with ‘In conclusion’ or ‘finally’ or ‘to sum up’
· Add any new arguments
· Don’t make it fluffy
· Focus on any one particular point, keep your focus on the big picture
