Examples of “The Conclusion Trick” AG Known as the father of the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci was an amazing man. Conclusion trick: Each time I see that curious smile on the Mona Lisa´s face I find myself drawn (pulled) again into the mystery of da Vinci. NOTE: The idea of the conclusion trick is to remind readers of the attention getter that you used to start your essay. It gives the reader a sense of finality and completeness.

Examples of “The Conclusion Trick” AG She was the seductive beauty known as the “Queen of the Nile.” Conclusion trick: One hour would not be enough for all the questions I could ask the Queen of the Nile.

Examples of “The Conclusion Trick” AG The mouse, the iPod, the iMac, and the iPad are just some of his inventions. Conclusion: So, as I click my mouse, change songs on my iPod and do a web search on my iPad, again I think of how great it would be to speak to Steve Jobs.

Examples of questions turned into noun clauses: STUDENT: I would ask her did she believe in love? (grammatically incorrect) Was she ever in love? Did she consider herself beautiful? What fashion and beauty tips could she give me? TEACHER: I would ask her if she believed in love and if she had ever been in love. I would like to know if she considered herself beautiful and would ask her if she could give me some fashion and beauty tips.

Examples of Strong Topic Sentences That Repeat Key Words from the Topic Question One reason that I would like to talk to Steve Jobs is to know how he found his passion in life. Another reason I would like to talk to Jobs is to obtain some insight regarding his great ideas. Lastly, I would chose to talk to Jobs over any other person in order to know his secrets to success.

One reason why I would like to talk to John Lennon is to ask him to discuss his ideas of peace and love. Another reason whiy I would talk to John Lennon is because of his amazing ability to write songs. Finally, I would be interested to know what John Lennon did to reach his enormous success.

First, I would chose to speak to Steve Jobs in order to ask him how he came up with so many great ideas. Next, I would love to be able to ask Jobs about some of his design secrets. Lastly, I would choose to speak to Jobs in order to gain insight into his masterful understanding of minimalism.
