Hi Gina, can you explain the conclusion? How developed the great conclusion, thank you
The conclusion should not be long. Follow these steps:
1. Restate the thesis statement in some different words. 1-2 sentences
2. Summarize the main points of the essay. Try to repeat the main idea from each body paragraph, but use some different words. 2-4 sentences
3. Finish with a final thought. This is usually a prediction about the future or a suggestion. 1-2 sentences
I hope this helps!
I will make a video with more information about how to do it.

Can you please tell how to stuck with topic ..i end up with messed paragraph...no coherence in it..i am very worried about it
You need to make an outline. For every paragraph, you need 1 main idea and then 2-3 supporting ideas to explain your main idea. Go to my Writing Playlist and look for my video about how to write an essay--I think it will help you.
