英文寫作的開頭再好，也必須搭配能讓閱卷者眼睛一亮的精彩結尾才能拿到高分。
基本上，寫結論非常簡單。你最多只需要用一句或兩句寫「結語 (conclusion)」。
★ 寫作「結語」的清單
- 用一個句子總結你的論證
- 重申你的意見
- 保持概括性
- 不要提出具體的例子或細節
- 不要提出新意見
◎用以總結論證的固定短語
- In conclusion, 總結來說
- In the last analysis, 歸根結底
- To sum up, 總而言之
- To summarize, 總結一下
- On balance, 持平來說
- Overall, it is clear that v.p. 整體而言，很清楚的是～
- I would recommend that v.p. 我會力薦～
例句

- Overall, it is clear that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
整體而言，利大於弊是顯而易見的。
