雅思小作文要结尾吗？

 很多烤鸭会说小作文本来字数就那么少，还要写结尾吗？那到底要不要写结尾呢？如果要写怎么写？要注意些什么呢？

来看看一位外籍雅思老师对小作文结尾的分析，再根据自己的情况决定~

Academic task 1 – conclusions

How do you write a conclusion for an IELTS academic part 1? Do you in fact need to write a conclusion at all? There is no one answer to that question but I am going to give you some ideas to think about.

Is a conclusion necessary? 有必要写结尾吗？

This will depend to some extent on how you have written the report. It is quite possible that you do not need a conclusion if

• you have written a strong introduction and identified the main patterns/trends of the chart/graph in the introduction,so you don’t need to repeat yourself in the conclusion.
• you have written very clear “topic” sentences in your main paragraphs and the main points are already clear and cannot easily be summarised
• you have 2/3 charts/graphs and there is no one conclusion

如果你符合以下三点，那结尾是不一定要写的：
1.你的开头介绍很明确地说出了图表的主要趋势或者是主要模式，那么就没必要在结尾重复一遍。
2.在每一段都有一个明确的主题句，而且归纳起来不太容易。
3.题目中出现2-3个图表，但并没有给出结论。


If, however, you have not used a strong introduction and if you only have one main paragraph, then it is sensible to include a conclusion.
如果你的开头段没有阐明主旨，全文又只有一个主要段落，那最好还是写一个结尾。不过要注意以下几方面：

Length
You don’t have to write too much. A sentence is enough. It can even be quite a short sentence. It can be a mistake to include too much detail in the conclusion as the examiner will cross it out if it is simply copied from the main body of your report. 
结尾段不必写太长，可以使用短句子，而且尽量不要在结尾段写一些已经描述过的细节。

Ideas
The danger is you put your own ideas into the conclusion as this is one of the things that you do in academic essays. This is a reporting/summarising task though, so it is a mistake to do this or to interpret the data.
结尾段加入自己的观点是很危险的，这只是一个“看图说话”的题目，所以不用加入自己的观点或者用自己的观点去解释那些数据，文中图表反映了什么，如实写就可以了，就算是一些趋势、走向，也是直接反映在图表中的哦！

Content
The usual rule is that you should not put any new detail into a conclusion, but only summarise your main content paragraphs. This means in practice that you pick out the main details of the chart/graph you have been looking at. This will be typically the main trends or patterns in the chart/graph.
结尾段不要写新东西，主要是对重点段落的总结。可以归纳一下图表反映出来的主要趋势。

How to do it
Here’s the trick. When you write the conclusion, don’t look at the graph or what you have already written. If you do that, you may write too much or write something too complex. The conclusion should be simple.Try this. Look away. See what you remember about the graph. There should be 2 or 3 main points. These are the points you include in your conclusion 
写结尾不要去参考已经写出来的段落，尽量保持简洁明了！凭自己的记忆，对图表的主要特征做哟个概括，两三个要点就好！
