INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Many writers are tempted to conclude their paragraphs using statements that begin with "As I have shown" or "This shows my assertions are correct." Keep your essay in the formal third-person, which will make your ideas more convincing. You also want to avoid the word "you." For example, don't say, "As you can see" in your concluding sentence. There are some exceptions, such as if you're writing an introductory paragraph or an opinion essay. While you want to allude to the evidence or examples you provided, don't make your concluding sentence about those minor points. Instead, keep it focused on the main idea. Reread your concluding statement, then compare it to your paragraph. Do you reference one detail but not another? If it does, rewrite the sentence to address the main points, not the subpoints. Sometimes closing sentences can become formulaic or repetitive. To prevent this, make sure that your main idea comes through and the sentence connects the explanation in the paragraph to that main idea. A poor closing statement might read: "As you can see, the evidence suggests that cats like to hunt." A better closing statement could read: "Based on the data, cats look for opportunities to hunt for sport, proving they are natural predators."

SUMMARY: Avoid using the words "I" or "my" in your closing statement. Stay away from minor details. Write a statement that serves a purpose.
