2.首尾呼應(yīng)，畫龍點(diǎn)睛
在文章的結(jié)尾，把含義較深的話放在末尾，以點(diǎn)明主題，深化主題，起到畫龍點(diǎn)睛的效果。
如“I Cannot Forget Her” (我忘不了她)的結(jié)尾：
After her death，I felt as if something were missing in my life. I was sad over her passing away，but I knew she would not have had any reGREts at having given her life for the benefit of the people.

結(jié)尾回到文章開頭闡明的中心思想或主題句上，達(dá)到強(qiáng)調(diào)的效果。
如“I Love My Home Town”(我愛家鄉(xiāng))的結(jié)尾：
I love my home town，and I love its people. They too have changed. They are going all out to do more for the good of our motherland.
4.含蓄性的結(jié)尾

如“A Day of Harvesting”(收割的日子)的結(jié)尾：
Evening came before we realized it. We put down our sickles and looked at each other. Our clothes were wet with sweat，but on every face there was a smile.
5.用反問結(jié)尾
雖然形式是問句，但意義卻是肯定的，并具有特別的強(qiáng)調(diào)作用，引起讀者深思。
如“Should We Learn to Do Housework?”(我們要不要學(xué)做家務(wù)?) 的結(jié)尾。
Everyone should learn to do housework. Don’t you aGREe，boys and girls?
6.指明方向，激勵讀者
結(jié)尾表示對將來的展望，或期待讀者投入行動。
