Question

Which elements can a writer include in a well-written conclusion to a personal statement? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

A strong opinion backed up by supporting evidence.

Answer 2

Answer:

a meaningful restatement of the topic and purpose

a relevant connection between the topic and the story

a reflection on the experiences discussed in the essay

Explanation:

A list of skills and accomplishments is not that much of a conclusion. And a strong opinion will be redundant after a personal statement. A writer can make the conclusion even more interesting by reminding the reader of the purpose of what was told, or making clearer how the topic relates to the story (or vice versa). Another interesting way of concluding something is to reflect on the ideas exposed in a way that readers can follow your thoughts on the subject.
