Suggested Techniques for writing the Concluding paragraph

a.

Restate the thesis statement. - this reasserts the idea in the thesis statement.

Example: My father taught me more than what spanking or Punishment ever could have done. With the first, I know I will gain my future. With the second I will gain respect.

b. Summarize the main points.


- summary draws together and reinforces the main points of a composition. Example Of course, there reasons against death penalty, which includes its high cost and its failure to deter crime. But believe that the most important arguments against capital punishment are the possibility of executing an innocent man, the discriminatory manner in which it is applied, and the inhumane methods of carrying it out. In my opinion, death penalty is akin to pre - midetated murder of presociety as a whole. As a cliche goes, two wrongs dont make it right.

c. Use a Final question


- A final question often prompts the reader to think further on the topic.

Example Arent these gifts enough? Why ask running for benefits that are plainly beyond thier capacity to bestow?

d,. Provide a captivating qoutation.


- A qoutation can capture the essence of the writers thoughts and end the composition with authority. Example I slept and dreamt That life was joy; I awoke and saw That life was duty; I acted anf beheld Duty was joy.

e. Sustain the reader s interest by an ironic twist or surprising observation.


Example I Think opinion leaders have a role to play in promoting a more mature understanding of citizenship in a democracy, much more than we need a decent citizenry. Civil people who will not bribe nor cheat. A peolpe whi are disciplined, not olut of fear of punishment , but out of concern. A people, who, when they see poverty around them, will say that something is not right, and then set out to make things better.

f. Emphasize through a clever or lighthearted ending.


- the writers ends by exagerating the fault or the idea criticized. Example His organizations joke time gives the members a new spirit to tackle the challenge of the job because, if not, at the end of the day, they are really spent. And their line when they bid each other adieu ? Goodbye another day in paradise.

g. Challenge the reader

Example We are raring to meet the challenge. We are young and strong. We dont fear failure. We are not burdened with prejudices that cloud ones judgment. Nothing is beyond our capability to achieve.

h. Express hope or recommenmdation


Example (hope) When some days run foul, we just shrug them off, confident that tommoro would be brighter and better. The setbacks are not blights on life, nor character flaws, but reminders to readjust focus.
