英国雅思培训机构的写作指南——Writing Conclusions.docx

Writing ConclusionsConclusions are shorter sections of academic texts which usually serve two functions. The first is to summarise and bring together the main areas covered in the writing, which might be called looking back; and the second is to give a final comment or judgement on this. The final comment may also include making suggestions for improvement and speculating on future directions.In dissertations and research papers, conclusions tend to be more complex and will also include sections on significance of the findings and recommendations for future work. Conclusions may be optional in research articles where consolidation of the study and general implications are covered in the Discussion section. However, they are usually expected in dissertations and essays.Summarising the contentThis paper has given an account of and the reasons for the widespread use of X ......This essay has argued that X is the best instrument to ......?This assignment has explained the central importance of X in Y.This dissertation has investigated ......Restatement of aims (research)This study set out to determine ......The present study was designed to determine the effect of .......In this investigation, the aim was to assess ......The purpose of the current study was to determine ......This project was undertaken to design ...... and evaluate .....Returning to the hypothesis/question posed at the beginning of this study, it is now possible to state that .....Summarising the findings (research)This study has shown that ......These findings suggest that in general ......One of the more significant findings to emerge from this study is that .....It was also shown that......?This study has found that generally .......?The following conclusions can be drawn from the present study ......?The relevance of X is clearly supported by the current findings.?This study/research has shown that ......?The second major finding was that ........?The results of this investigation show that .......
