The concluding sentence, or terminator, wraps up the paragraph's point. Longer essays may substitute a transition sentence between paragraphs.

Paragraphs
There are many types of paragraphs that serve different purposes. Some common types include argumentative paragraphs that seek to convince the reader of something, descriptive paragraphs that describe people, places or things in detail, and explanatory paragraphs that explain a subject thoroughly to teach or inform readers. Paragraphs can also be introductory, concluding, narrative, comparative, deductive, inductive and more. Well-structured paragraphs generally include a topic sentence expressing the main idea supported by additional details and examples.

This document provides advice on academic writing. It recommends that an essay should have an argument presented through a clear organization designed to present the argument persuasively. It suggests starting writing early and revising extensively, with attention to sentence structure, transitions, word choice, and clarity. Planning helps produce a logical, thorough paper but overplanning risks not leaving enough time for writing and revising or trying to cover too much. The conclusion should provide closure while placing concepts in a wider context through critical thinking rather than merely summarizing points.
