WEBVTT 00:01.320 --> 00:01.720 OK. 00:01.880 --> 00:05.200 Now let's go ahead and have a look at conclusions. 00:05.390 --> 00:09.990 Conclusions are very very important when it comes to. 00:10.070 --> 00:11.370 Well I mean they're not. 00:11.510 --> 00:13.740 They're not the most important thing. 00:14.060 --> 00:16.990 But you do have to know how to do a good conclusion. 00:17.150 --> 00:17.510 Right. 00:17.510 --> 00:20.390 It may not be worth the most points for an essay. 00:20.600 --> 00:22.400 But you have to do a good conclusion. 00:22.400 --> 00:25.160 And so I want to talk to you about doing that. 00:25.220 --> 00:30.290 Here are the basics when it comes to a conclusion. 00:30.290 --> 00:37.070 You basically basically are going to start off by revisiting your thesis statement going back to your 00:37.070 --> 00:44.790 thesis statement not repeating it word for word but you have to rearrange it or paraphrase it. 00:45.200 --> 00:50.300 And that's going to be at the very beginning of the conclusion and then the rest the conclusion is just 00:50.300 --> 01:00.470 an expansion of giving the reader the relevance or importance of your essay conclusions and also the 01:00.470 --> 01:04.910 implications or suggestions right. 01:04.910 --> 01:09.140 This is the final paragraph right. 01:09.380 --> 01:13.330 This is the final paragraph and you're going to summarize it right here. 01:13.350 --> 01:16.570 OK. 01:17.160 --> 01:21.450 The main parts of a conclusion the thesis statement answer. 01:21.460 --> 01:21.780 All right. 01:21.780 --> 01:29.440 The thesis statement revisited summarizing and giving a significance right the relevance and implications 01:29.440 --> 01:37.980 of the essays findings recommendations suggestions a conclusion is actually the opposite of an introduction 01:38.640 --> 01:46.100 and that with the conclusion you go from specific to general with an introduction you go from general 01:46.100 --> 01:47.970 to specific. 01:47.980 --> 01:48.960 Right. 01:49.040 --> 01:55.210 A lot of a lot of people don't know that is the opposite format of an introduction the opposite format 01:55.210 --> 01:56.550 of the introduction. 01:56.570 --> 01:59.510 Just think about that. 01:59.630 --> 02:01.170 Just think about it. 02:01.220 --> 02:09.650 Think about the format of an introduction generals General specific then thesis statement and then thing 02:09.650 --> 02:13.260 about the format of a conclusion. 02:13.400 --> 02:19.910 You start off by paraphrasing the Visa statement then moving into summarizing the question in the end 02:19.910 --> 02:23.780 your final general recommendations or suggestions. 02:23.810 --> 02:24.160 OK. 02:27.620 --> 02:34.700 OK so the conclusion doesn't carry as much weight as the other as the introduction and definitely not 02:34.700 --> 02:41.270 as much weight as the body paragraphs but you still have to do it correctly and as you learn a little 02:41.270 --> 02:44.370 bit earlier there's a specific way to do a conclusion. 02:44.510 --> 02:51.320 So let's take a look at some of the examples. 02:51.630 --> 02:58.790 All right here's the agree or disagree question about the four time students spending most of their 02:58.790 --> 03:02.520 time studying and they should be doing other activities. 03:03.260 --> 03:04.820 As you know I disagree. 03:04.820 --> 03:10.290 I say this they should only be studying and this is what a good conclusion will look like. 03:11.640 --> 03:20.430 As we can conclude utilizing time for any endeavor outside of studying is wasteful as it prevents acquiring 03:20.430 --> 03:25.110 a high GPA and opportunities that only dedication to studying can provide. 03:26.370 --> 03:31.530 While there may be arguments to support a different position those arguments are not persuasive. 03:31.530 --> 03:36.890 The best recommendation is for a student to solely focus on their coursework. 03:37.280 --> 03:37.710 All right. 03:37.740 --> 03:42.490 And here is a extent to what extent do you agree or disagree. 03:42.810 --> 03:48.030 The qualities a person needs to become successful in today's world cannot be learned at a university 03:48.630 --> 03:50.820 or similar academic institution. 03:50.820 --> 03:53.020 To what extent do you agree or disagree. 03:53.040 --> 03:59.250 This is what the conclusion will look like becoming a success in life is the ultimate goal of every 03:59.250 --> 04:04.220 man or woman but many of us do not know the skills to be a success. 04:04.230 --> 04:09.270 Many individuals think that we must go to college to learn everything to become successful. 04:09.270 --> 04:10.810 But this is not true. 04:11.040 --> 04:13.950 Confidence and social skills create a successful life. 04:14.190 --> 04:16.740 Even though they are not absorbed from school 04:19.470 --> 04:23.490 now here is an advantage disadvantage question where we have a separate opinion. 04:23.520 --> 04:30.200 So what I've done here is I separated the opinion and then we gave a conclusion. 04:30.290 --> 04:35.810 Some people think that it is a very good idea to bring your family when you have to travel overseas 04:35.810 --> 04:36.700 to study or work. 04:36.700 --> 04:39.680 Discuss the advantages and disadvantages what's your opinion. 04:41.510 --> 04:42.950 Absolutely absolutely. 04:42.950 --> 04:47.300 There are points to be made for the benefits and drawbacks of bringing your family. 04:47.510 --> 04:48.990 In general it is much better. 04:49.010 --> 04:52.160 It is a much better idea to have family included. 04:52.160 --> 04:57.440 Sure there may be distractions and expense but the educational benefits of children and the spouse are 04:57.440 --> 04:59.930 more important than those two negatives. 04:59.930 --> 05:04.880 The best recommendation is to bring them whenever possible to do otherwise invites irreparable harm 05:04.880 --> 05:07.300 to the family and the individual worker. 05:07.310 --> 05:09.840 So you're very clear in my opinion. 05:10.160 --> 05:12.700 The above reference points illustrate the balance point. 05:12.710 --> 05:15.360 Opinions from both sides of view. 05:15.450 --> 05:20.720 Yet when the rubber meets the road with the best decision rests with including family on the journey. 05:20.720 --> 05:28.380 Family is more important than any perceived drawback from having them travel to the new country. 05:28.390 --> 05:30.450 Here is a two part conclusion. 05:30.500 --> 05:36.110 This is the one about needing money to live and if there are other reasons why people work and discussing 05:36.110 --> 05:38.150 a specific one. 05:38.480 --> 05:45.160 This is the conclusion even though most would believe money is the end all and be all to motivate a 05:45.160 --> 05:46.120 worker. 05:46.120 --> 05:48.590 This is not true in all circumstances. 05:48.760 --> 05:54.500 Certainly charity enjoyment a family can act on the same level as money in equal measure. 05:54.520 --> 06:01.950 So far so social reinforcement can act as the provocation to arise and work seven days a week if necessary. 06:04.220 --> 06:06.800 Discuss both sides and discuss both sides. 06:06.800 --> 06:11.790 Conclusion This is the one that's talking about computers being used more and more. 06:11.860 --> 06:19.440 If you believe this is a positive trend or has negative consequences conclusion it is beyond the scope 06:19.440 --> 06:26.040 of imagination that one would actually decide that computers and education are not the perfect marriage. 06:26.040 --> 06:31.950 This is especially true when we consider the research in modern society and adaptation advantages that 06:31.950 --> 06:39.090 come from having computers that give us solutions to the given the give solution to the given negatives 06:39.630 --> 06:50.990 speak towards this debate falling on the side of positive association between computers and education. 06:51.040 --> 06:59.770 Here is a problem solution question about urbanization causing a loss of community sense and what's 06:59.770 --> 07:01.320 the problem with losing community. 07:01.330 --> 07:02.350 And how can we solve it. 07:03.670 --> 07:05.530 Here's the conclusion. 07:05.590 --> 07:10.750 Loss of community is a very serious issue that neighborhoods across the country face. 07:10.840 --> 07:16.660 Absence of community results in less safety and growth but with careful attention we can resolve those 07:16.660 --> 07:21.130 challenges through neighborhood monthly meetings and community centers. 07:21.130 --> 07:29.590 The best option for any community leaders would be to implement these solutions immediately. 07:29.600 --> 07:32.300 Here is an advantage disadvantage conclusion. 07:32.600 --> 07:37.060 Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of your way of life with that of your parents. 07:37.070 --> 07:40.180 Which one do you think would be best for the next generations. 07:42.580 --> 07:43.620 After reading the above. 07:43.620 --> 07:49.240 Pro and con analysis assorted associated with leisure and opportunities. 07:49.240 --> 07:52.200 Can there be any other choice besides my generation. 07:52.210 --> 07:55.160 Yes you can use the question everybody. 07:55.300 --> 08:00.220 I am certain that my parents generation would find the advantages advanced examination in their favor 08:00.670 --> 08:07.060 but actually their arguments are fairly weak when truly explored. 08:07.270 --> 08:14.350 So if you have any questions about how to do a conclusion please contact me and let me know and I'll 08:14.350 --> 08:16.600 be happy to answer those questions for you. 08:16.600 --> 08:17.870 Thanks a lot and I'll talk to.
