     A concluding sentence does more than
    wrap up what you have said in your
    paragraph:
     
    it summarize ideas
    it transitions to the next paragraph
    it demonstrates the importance of your topic
    idea

    Think of your paragraph like a hamburger:
     
    The top bun is the topic sentence 
    The middle ingredients are the supporting
    sentences
    The bottom bun is the concluding sentence
     
    The buns hold everything together and resemble
    each other, just as the topic and concluding
    sentences should.

    Do's
    • Do stick to the main points.
     
    • Do allow for a smooth transition between the
    concluding sentence and the topic sentence of the
    next paragraph. For example:

    o Concluding sentence "For these reasons, sea


    level rise is a climate change impact."
     
    o Topic sentence in following paragraph "Another
    key stressor from climate change is
    extreme weather."

    More Do's
    Do focus and be specific about how your supporting
    sentences contribute to the concluding sentence.
     
    Do arrange the body of the paragraph in a sequence
    that flows to lead up to the concluding sentence.
     
    Do make sure that a concluding sentence is necessary
    for your paragraph, as some short paragraphs may not
    require one.

    Don'ts
    Don't simply rephrase your topic sentence; that would be
    redundant. 

    Don't begin with an unnecessary, overused phrase


    like "in conclusion", "in summary", "in closing",
    or "as shown in the essay." (These may work in
    speeches, but they come across as wooden and trite in
    writing.) 

    Sometimes all you need are a few well chosen words 


     to sum up the main idea you have developed.
