How to Write a TOEFL Essay Conclusion

The conclusion is the essay's last paragraph. It restates the thesis and summarizes the main points.

The conclusion of your TOEFL essay is probably the easiest part to write. Before we begin, here is what you should know about the conclusion:

• It's the last paragraph of the essay.
• It's usually 3 or four sentences long.
• It restates the essay's thesis.
• It summarizes the essay's main points.

The conclusion must restate your thesis statement and summarize the essay's main points. If it doesn't do this, then it's a bad conclusion.

In order to write the conclusion, we have to look at three important sentences in our essay. We look at our thesis statement and we look at our two topic senteces. This is what we'll do on the next page.
