A concluding section (or concluding paragraph) is the final part of a written work, such as an essay or article, where the key points are summarized, and the main argument or message is restated. Its purpose is to provide closure to the reader, reinforce the main ideas presented, and often suggest implications or future directions concerning the topic discussed.
Conclusions that can be drawn or inferred based on the available information are called inferences or deductions.
An explanatory text needs a strong concluding section because it helps to reinforce the main ideas presented throughout the text, provides the reader with a clear understanding of the topic, and leaves a lasting impression by highlighting the significance of the information discussed.
The typical structure of an informational or explanatory text (essay) is:
- Introduction - introduces the topic and presents the thesis statement.
- Body paragraphs - provide detailed information, evidence, and examples to support the thesis.
- Conclusion - summarizes the key points and restates the main ideas.
A strong final statement in a conclusion that gives the reader a sense of closure is called a concluding remark or final thought.
