Tips

The simplest way to write a conclusion is by looking at your introduction and paraphrase it.

Example

Here is the introductory sentence we wrote for the above task:

Introduction:

Some families homeschool their children instead of using the traditional educational system. However, does this do more good or harm to a child?

In conclusion, we can see that homeschooling creates a number of problems. Having parents as educators, not having classmates to make friends with, and lack of official teaching credentials can all negatively impact a child. It is clear that sending a child to school outside of the home is the best option for them.

Remember that the conclusion has no new information or ideas. It only restates what was already said.
