Here is the C1 Advanced Part 1 essay example I will be referring to in this section:
The Conclusion
The Conclusion
The conclusion will finish your essay. Your conclusion should:
Summarize the main points of your essay.
Restate your opinion, if needed.
Use varied language, by paraphrasing and synonyms.
Not have new ideas.
Tips
Tips
Never write any new ideas in your conclusion. A conclusion should always simply restate the ideas you have in the rest of the essay.
Make sure you address the main topic in the conclusion. The conclusion should state what you think about the question and make it clear how you feel about the issue.
Vary your language. Show that you have a wide vocabulary by paraphrasing.
Don’t include everything. Don't go into detail. Instead, summarize your main points.
Always write one. It is very difficult to get a good score in this task if haven’t finished your essay with a conclusion. Even if you are running out of time, write one.
The simplest way to write a conclusion is by looking at your introduction and paraphrase it.
Example
Example
Here is the introductory sentence we wrote for the above task:
How public funding should be allocated is always a major question for decision-makers. It's no question that museums and sports facilities are both essential to creating communities where people have a high quality of life. However, while sports facilities are indeed important, museums should be given priority when distributing funding, for the reasons expressed below.
Our conclusion is simply going to paraphrase this introduction and restate our key points and opinion:
Conclusion:
In conclusion, while both sports centres and museums play a vital role within a community, museums should be given priority when determining how to allocate funding, as they often are unable to generate large amounts of revenue themselves.
Remember that the conclusion has no new information or ideas. It only restates what was already said.
