1. Look at some of your past essays and having read them through,
consider how your concluding paragraph could have been improved.
Write an alternative closing paragraph to the one you wrote
originally.

for one or two of them, then concentrate on writing a closing
paragraph to these based on your plan notes.
3. Read some feature articles from newspapers and analyse how the
closing paragraphs of these articles are written. Do they function
