TO MAKE A GOOD CONCLUSION IT IS NECESSARY TO:
  1. Review the main points of the essay ( the topic statements)
  2. Summarize them in favor for the thesis statement.
  3. Describe the writer's subjective position on the topic.
  4. End the conclusion with a strong affirmation that will be beyond any question.



DOES THE CONCLUSION SUMMARIZE THE ESSAY.

The witer may consider implementation of emotional factors in order to make a memoraable impression about the essay.


THIS MAY INCLUDE:

  1. Emphasizing the importance of the topic.
  2. The ending lines may have an unexpected direction leading the reader to nonstandard thoughts.
  3. A strong appearl for the reader's actions.
  4. A provocation th thinking made by a quote or an anecdote.


IT IS VITAL TO REMEMBER:
    • ANY CONCLUSION SHOULD NEVER REPEAT THE ASSERTIONS PRESENTD IN THE ESSAY WORD-FOR-WORD.
    • IF THE WRITER WANTS TO MAKE CONCLUSION REALLY SUCCESSFUL IT MUST BE SHORT BUT VERY CLEAR.
    • THIS IS THE LAST PART OF THE ESSAY AND IT MAKES THE FINAL IMPRESSION ON THE READER.
    • A GOOD CONCLUSION IS ALWAYS CREATIVE AND LOGICALLY SOUND.
