How to write a conclusion
An essay has three main parts; an introduction, a main body and a conclusion. The conclusion is where you bring the reader to the end of your essay, sum up your points and give a final perspective on the topic you have just been discussing. The conclusion should be concise and clear. Scientific papers use a conclusion to state clearly and simply their findings and to suggest any further investigations that they would carry out. However, you should not just re-state your main points again in the conclusion, rather you should use it give your feelings or perspective on your chosen subject. Reiterate, reply, recommend and reflect are the four rules for a complete conclusion. You may not do all of these in your conclusion but you can use them as a guide.
It is sometimes suggested that you end your essay on a memorable thought, an interesting quotation, a strange twist of logic or a call to action. Do you want your readers to read your article and then feel that they should do something? This may be the place to provide a suggestion for further action that the reader might take.
