DON’T BE DULL Instead of stating, ― “In my paper I will tell
you about how good I think bananas are”…think of how to SHOW your readers that bananas are delectable.
Don’t say “in this paper” or “I will write about” or “I will say”. Never refer to your process of writing in the paper.
Don’t just use a lame question. “Have you ever thought about how good bananas are?”

The Purpose: It’s your chance to have the last word on the
subject. It allows you to summarize your thoughts,
demonstrate the importance of your ideas, and propel your reader to a new view of the subject.
It’s your chance to make a good final impression and to end on a positive note.
Your conclusion should make your reader feel glad they read your paper, giving them something to take away from it or appreciate your topic in a personally relevant way.

The Formula:1. Briefly summarize what has been
proven about your topic without saying “I have proven” or “So now you know” etc.
2. Show the “so what”.3. Restate your thesis (what you believe
about bananas.)
