The conclusion of your NEA task is of key importance to its success. Moderators often comment that conclusions are neglected; the reader is left with very little sense of what has been argued and what insight the student has gained from the process of addressing the task. This article advises you on how to write a successful final paragraph and warns you of some of the pitfalls to avoid.
The purpose of the conclusion is to return to the reader’s broader perspective from the close focus on individual points that makes up the body of the essay. It widens its focus to the overall argument that was set out in the introduction and considers the implications of what has been discussed. You might want to touch on points you have made in the essay, but the conclusion is not just a summary of those points.
