Summarizing

I'd like to finish by saying...

If we take into account the ideas and facts formerly presented, one may come to the conclusion that...

all in all: en suma                                   in brief: en resumen                                       in conclusion: Para concluir

in short: en resumen                            on the whole: en general                          to sum up: Para resumir

What to include

• Your conclusion wraps up your essay in a tidy package and brings it home for your reader

• Your topic sentence should summarize what you said in your thesis statement

  • This suggests to your reader that you have accomplished what you set out to accomplish

• Do not simply restate your thesis statement, as that would be redundant

  • Rephrase the thesis statement with fresh and deeper understanding

• Your conclusion is no place to bring up new ideas

• Your supporting sentences should summarize what you have already said in the body of your essay

  • If a brilliant idea tries to sneak into the final paragraph, you must pluck it out and let it have its own paragraph in the body, or leave it out completely

• Your topic for each body paragraph should be summarized in the conclusion

  • Wrap up the main points

• Your closing sentence should help the reader feel a sense of closure

• Your closing sentence is your last word on the subject; it is your “clincher”

  • Demonstrate the importance of your ideas

  • Propel your reader to a new view of the subject

  • End on a positive note

• Your closing sentence should make your readers glad they read your paper
