Good Conclusions for the 30-Minute Essay

by Strictly English TOEFL Tutors on December 28, 2008

Everyone says that your conclusion should “repeat the introduction”. Strictly English says: NO IT SHOULDN’T! Repeating the introduction lacks creativity and it lacks “development,” which is the idea that your essay has intellectually “gone somewhere.” The best way to write a conclusion is to offer a “plan of action” for the reader based on what you’ve written in the essay.
