Students may be adept at starting their composition and populating the body with paragraphs of content, but they may not always know how best to conclude their writing. The ending of a composition is very important as the student has to reiterate their original points and pitch their final message – these are the last things the reader takes away with them at the end of a story, and it is what they will be thinking about long after they have stopped reading. WRITERS AT WORK students learn exactly how to do all this in our weekly English enrichment classes and end their composition writing on a high note – a necessary step towards mastering the art of writing excellent composition endings.

Tips for Writing Good Conclusions:
1. Reflection on the Incident

Examples of Good Conclusions
Write about a time when you did something to impress someone and regretted it.
(O Level Composition Question, 2020)
Despite my best efforts, I had ruined everything. Madam Tan assured me that she did not think any less of me because of my actions – she laughed that I was still young and that I should be given space to fall instead. I was grateful to the school principal that I was not suspended or worse – expelled. I realised that I needed to learn how to behave appropriately while I was still in school – Madam Tan had warned me that in the real world, people would not be so forgiving. I left school that afternoon ashamed yet determined to do better the next time I had the chance.
Examiners want to see students master all aspects of writing a good composition. Starting strong, staying steady, and ending well are all equally important – students need to consider all the aspects of writing when planning out their essays. WRITERS AT WORK educators inspire students to read examples of endings and think about how they would like to end a story. There are no hard and fast rules to writing endings – some may be a satisfying, happy ending, while others may be a sad, doleful lesson to learn. Some endings are cliffhangers, and they usually leave a reader hanging on.
Master the English Language with WRITERS AT WORK!
English is a compulsory subject which all students must undertake. However, mastering the English language is not something which happens overnight – it takes consistent practice and effort to learn the nuances of the language. Students must read more and practice writing to gradually improve. Cramming for a language subject nearer to the exams is an impossible feat. After all, Rome was not built in a day! Attaining such a skill will have positive implications for not only your child’s education in school, but also employment prospects in future.
