Study Notes
Writing a Persuasive Essay Conclusion
- A conclusion sentence restates the main idea of the essay, e.g., "I believe that our city should charge a tax on soft drinks."
- Summarize main points briefly, 1-2 sentences, to reinforce the argument, e.g., "Sodas negatively affect health, and a tax could reduce consumption and health problems."
- Avoid introducing new ideas, reasons, or evidence in the conclusion.
- Only restate main points discussed in the essay to aid reader understanding and memory.
- Consequences statement: warn about the outcome of not taking the advised action, e.g., "If you do not charge a tax on sodas, the obesity epidemic and health care costs will continue to rise for residents of the city."
- The consequence statement is crucial in emphasizing the importance of the issue and potential problems if the advice is not heeded.
- The conclusion should leave a lasting impression on the reader and encourage them to take action.
