Writing: B2 Lesson 5: Writing Strong Conclusions (Summarizing & Giving a Final Thought)

B2 Writing: Conclusions

🏁

The Finish Line

The Inverted Funnel

A strong conclusion starts Specific (restating your point) and ends Broad (a final message to the world).

⚠️ Rule #1: Never introduce NEW arguments or facts in the conclusion! Only summarize what you already wrote.

1. Restate Thesis
(Specific)

2. Summarize Arguments
(Broader)

3. Final Thought / "Mic Drop"
(Broadest)
