XAMPLE 3 Here is a concluding paragraph to a politics essay that asks what factors brought about the downfall of Mrs Thatcher in 1990 when she resigned after a leadership election: The bulk of the evidence, then, points to the fact that the Conservative Party in 1990 had lost confidence in the Prime Minister to deliver another election victory. Too many Tory MPs , especially perhaps those in marginal constituencies, had become convinced that Mrs Thatcher had sunk so low in public esteem that she had become a liability to the party. Many were also extremely critical about her stubbornness in insisting on the Poll Tax to replace local rates, a measure that had been deeply unpopular in the country as a whole and which had led to serious riots in the streets of London. In addition, divisions about Europe were tearing the party apart and Mrs Thatcher’s continual antagonism to the European Union was seen as deeply divisive. Added to all these factors were the personal issues of ambitious and sacked ex-Ministers who led the revolt against the Prime Minister and triggered the leadership election. Thus, a whole raft of factors led to her downfall, allied to the fact that she simply had been in office for eleven years, which is the longest any Prime Minister had served in that role in the twentieth century. 48 H OW TO WRITE ESSAYS ‘The bulk of the evidence, then, …’ introduces this final paragraph and indicates to the reader that the writer is about to summarise the points made in the essay and come to a conclusion. The following sentences emphasise the points made in the body of the essay. ‘Thus’ leads into the closing sentence of the paragraph, which acts as a final summing-up sentence and as a neat way of rounding it off. Your essay should have a concluding paragraph that brings the essay back to the set topic and draws a conclusion or summarises the evidence. Your assessor must be left with the impression of a considered conclusion. Download 1.62 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
