1.2.5 結尾段的寫法
結尾段(Concluding Paragraph)同開篇一樣重要。結尾段對全文要點進行概括總結、表達作者的目的，以求留給讀者一個深刻完整的印象，增強文章的效果。下面介紹四種常見的結尾方法：
1) 總結全文,得出結論
結尾段可用總結全文的方式強調、概括全文的主要內容，加深讀者對全文的深刻了解與認識。例如：
主題：Physical exercise
In a word, I benefit a lot from doing physical exercise. I seldom get sick but feel vigorous even after a whole day’s work. I shall keep up doing physical exercise so as to live happily and fruitfully.
本段總結了全文，加深讀者對“體育鍛煉有益于健康”這一主題的認識。
2) 提出建議,號召行動,表達決心或展望未來
結尾段還可以在總結全文要點的基礎上，對文中所提的暫時無法解決或尚無定論的問題適當引申，或提出建議，號召別人采取行動，或展望未來。這種方法可以啟發讀者思考并予以鼓舞，有助于增強文章的感染力。例如：
主題：Generation gap
In order to reconcile the differences, some forms of organization should be established to help the young and the old to exchange their ideas and strengthen their mutual understanding so as to bridge the gap.
該段就怎樣彌補代溝方面提出一些建議。
3) 建議與結論
文章的結尾常結合兩種寫法。有的先提出建議或解決辦法，再做結論。有的則先做出結論，再提出建議，例如：
主題：Shortage of natural resources(自然資源短缺)
The prolonged development of human society proves that population and economic and social progress eventually cannot be achieved without natural resources. To save the limited resources, we must take some measures to handle appropriately the relationship between the population and resources.
該段首先進行總結：人類社會持續的發展證明，如果沒有自然資源，人口的繁衍、經濟和社會的發展最終都是不可能的。
作者接著建議，為了節約有限的資源，我們必須采取一些措施，正確處理人口與資源的關系。
4) 提醒讀者事物的兩面性
文章的結尾還可以以轉折的形式，提醒讀者任何事物都有兩面性，從而認識到其不足或負面的影響。例如：
主題：Solar Energy(太陽能)
However, solar energy has its disadvantages. One is that it is still very expensive for widespread practical use. Besides, solar systems would not work in cloudy or rainy days as well as at night. But in sunny areas, solar energy could help solve the energy crisis.
