Theory — Công thức Conclusion 2 câu
Conclusion chỉ cần 2 câu, tổng 35–45 từ:
Câu 1 — Restate thesis (khẳng định lại quan điểm, KHÔNG copy lại nguyên câu)
Câu 2 — Summarize 2 body ideas (tóm gọn 2 lý do đã trình bày)Ngắn nhưng phải có mặt — thiếu conclusion = trừ Task Response 0.5–1.0 band ngay lập tức.
3 SAI LẦM CHẾT NGƯỜI ở Conclusion
| Sai lầm | Hậu quả | Cách tránh |
|---|---|---|
| Thêm ý MỚI | Bị coi là off-topic | Chỉ nhắc lại ý đã có ở body |
| Copy nguyên intro | Mất điểm Lexical Resource | Paraphrase lại thesis bằng cấu trúc khác |
| Kết thúc cụt lủn (1 câu) | Thiếu closure, mất Coherence | Luôn viết đủ 2 câu |
Bộ cụm mở đầu Conclusion (dùng thay "In conclusion,")
Dùng luân phiên, tránh lặp:
- “In conclusion,…” ← an toàn, phổ biến nhất
- “To conclude,…”
- “To sum up,…”
- “In summary,…”
- “On balance,…” ← đặc biệt hợp cho bài Adv-Disadv có "outweigh"
- “Weighing up both sides,…” ← hợp cho bài Discussion
Cấu trúc Conclusion theo dạng đề
| Dạng | Câu 1 (restate thesis) | Câu 2 (tóm 2 body) |

| Discussion | “In conclusion, while both perspectives have merit,…” | “…I believe [your view] is more compelling due to [reason 1] and [reason 2].” |
| Problem-Solution | “In summary, [problem] remains a serious challenge caused primarily by…” | “…and can only be addressed through [solution 1] and [solution 2].” |
| Adv-Disadv | “On balance, although [X] presents some drawbacks such as…,” | “…its benefits — particularly [advantage 1] and [advantage 2] — clearly outweigh them.” |
Ví dụ 1 Conclusion hoàn chỉnh
Đề: “Do the advantages of working from home outweigh the disadvantages?”
Body 1 đã nêu: flexibility → productivity Body 2 đã nêu: social isolation → mental health concerns
Conclusion mẫu:
On balance, although remote work does raise legitimate concerns around social isolation and mental well-being, the flexibility and productivity gains it offers make it a predominantly positive development for the modern workforce. These benefits, if paired with intentional efforts to maintain team connection, position remote arrangements as a lasting shift rather than a temporary trend.

Conclusion 1 — Opinion (đề: Free university education, agree or disagree?)
In conclusion, I firmly agree that tertiary education should be
made available at no cost to all learners. The dual benefits of
enhanced social mobility and substantial long-term economic returns
render this policy not only ethically sound but also fiscally
sensible for any forward-looking society.Conclusion 2 — Discussion (đề: Practical vs academic subjects — discuss both, give your opinion)
In conclusion, while both practical training and academic instruction
offer distinct advantages, I firmly believe that a balanced curriculum
incorporating both elements serves students most effectively, equipping
them with the analytical depth and real-world competencies required to
thrive in a rapidly evolving job market.Conclusion 3 — Problem-Solution (đề: Traffic congestion — causes and solutions)
In summary, urban gridlock remains a pressing issue driven largely by
excessive private vehicle use and inadequate public infrastructure.
Only through sustained investment in mass transit systems and
progressive congestion-pricing policies can cities hope to reclaim
their streets and restore mobility for their residents.Speaking — Đọc to bộ 6 opening + 6 restate verbs
