Write Your Conclusion
Here is a formula for the conclusion of your "con" paper.
- Use the "advanced" sentence pattern to list your three main points. This will be the first sentence of your conclusion.
- For the next sentence, write: "Don't be fooled by people who say that __________ is a wonderful country."
- At the end of your conclusion, restate your thesis using slightly different words. In this case, write: "__________ is overrated. Spend your holiday dollars somewhere else."
Here is the skeleton of the formula:
___________, __________, and __________—all these things make _________a poor choice for
a holiday. Don’t be fooled by people who say that __________ is a wonderful country. __________ is overrated. Spend your holiday dollars somewhere else. |
Written as a paragraph, it looks like this:
|
Smelly people, crowded subways, and expensive food—all these things make France a poor choice for a holiday. Don’t be fooled by people who say that France is a wonderful country. France is overrated. Spend your holiday dollars somewhere else. |
