Argumentative Conclusion

Conclusion Paragraph

After the introduction, the conclusion is the most important paragraph of your essay. Even if the body of your essay is strong, if the conclusion is weak, the read will believe your whole essay is lacking. Follow the directions below to create your conclusion.

 

First sentence: Rephrase the thesis. Do not simply copy it; put it into different words.

Second sentence: Write a summary of body paragraph 1.

Third sentence: Write a summary of body paragraph 2.

Fourth sentence: Write a summary of body paragraph 3.

Fifth sentence: Create a strong “wrap-up” sentence. This will be the last thought that the read is left with. Many times, there is a call to action.

Smoking can cause various diseases that affect the smoker’s life and can ultimately lead to death. Additionally, those who are frequently in proximity to a person (or people) smoking can develop similar maladies and ailment. Finally, with the liter and the toxic air that is produced by smoking, the environment suffers, too, when people smoke. With all of these reasons in mind, it is time to make smoking obsolete.
