The Final Bow

របៀបសរសេរប្រយោគសន្និដ្ឋាន

A Concluding Sentence is the last sentence of your paragraph. It wraps everything up like a beautiful bow on a present!

ប្រយោគសន្និដ្ឋាន គឺជាប្រយោគចុងក្រោយគេនៅក្នុងកថាខណ្ឌ។ វាមានតួនាទីសង្ខេប ឬបិទបញ្ចប់អត្ថន័យ។

📝

Strategy 1: Restate

និយាយចំណុចគោលម្តងទៀត (ដោយប្រើពាក្យថ្មី)

Topic: Dogs are great pets.

(Details about why dogs are good...)

Conclusion: Overall, dogs make wonderful friends.

* ជំនួសឲ្យការសរសេរប្រយោគដើមទាំងស្រុង យើងប្រើពាក្យ "make wonderful friends" ជំនួសឲ្យ "great pets"។

❤️

Strategy 2: Feeling

បញ្ចប់ដោយបង្ហាញអារម្មណ៍ ឬមតិ

Topic: My trip to the beach.

(Details about swimming and eating...)

Conclusion: It was the best day ever!

* បញ្ចប់ដោយការប្រាប់ពីអារម្មណ៍ចំពោះប្រធានបទដែលយើងបានសរសេរ។

🚦

Signposts 🚦

ពាក្យភ្ជាប់សម្រាប់ប្រយោគបញ្ចប់

Use these words at the start of your last sentence:

In conclusion, សរុបសេចក្តីមក

To sum up, ជារួមមក

Overall, ជារួម

The "New Idea" Trap! ⚠️

Never add new information!

(កុំបន្ថែមគំនិតថ្មីទាល់តែសោះនៅក្នុងប្រយោគសន្និដ្ឋាន!)

Paragraph about Dogs...

Conclusion: Cats are also nice. ❌

Paragraph about Dogs...

Conclusion: Dogs are simply the best. ✔️

In Action 📝

កថាខណ្ឌពេញលេញ

Apples are very healthy. They have a lot of vitamins. You can eat them every day. In conclusion, eating apples is good for your body.

ពណ៌ខៀវខ្ចី = ប្រធានបទ (Topic Sentence)
ពណ៌ខៀវចាស់ = សេចក្តីសន្និដ្ឋាន (Concluding Sentence)

Hi Panha! No, you do not *always* need it. However, it is very helpful for the reader to know that the paragraph is finishing. It's a great habit for A2 and B1 learners! 📝

Usually, just ONE strong concluding sentence is enough to wrap up a simple paragraph. Keep it simple and clear! ✨
