Essay Structure: Conclusion

Overview

A conclusion ties the entire essay together by revisiting the main idea and reinforcing why it matters. It restates the thesis in fresh language, briefly reviews the key points, and finishes with a strong final idea that gives the reader a sense of closure and purpose.

Do the following

• Restate the thesis in a new way

• Summarize the main points

• End with a strong closing idea

Don't do the following 

• Introduce new arguments

• Add new evidence

• Repeat sentences word‑for‑word

Structure

• Restated thesis → Summary → Final thought

Summary

A strong conclusion reminds the reader of your central argument, highlights the major insights from the body paragraphs, and leaves them with a final thought that feels complete and meaningful—without adding new information or repeating earlier sentences.
