How to Write a Conclusion

The purpose of the conclusion is to lead your reader out of your discourse. Of course, you also intend that your reader will accept your thesis and will be convinced that you know what you are writing about. A good way to do that is to hark back to your introduction and pick up what you promised your reader you would do in this essay and show how you have done it. Also, summarizing the points of the paper is a good way to conclude.

You can also write another story that makes your point, such as one about areas in the arctic where researchers have found evidence of glacier-melting. You can also make a prediction about the future here. Many of the scientists writing reports about global warming have made predictions. You could cite one of them here.
