Konklusion til debatterende essay

Konklusionen i et debatterende essay, bør starte med ordene:

In conclusion,

Det svarer til det danske udtryk ”Det kan hermed konkluderes, at”. Derfor bliver følgende indledning til en dansk konklusion:

Det kan hermed konkluderes, at briterne ikke havde den fjerneste idé om, hvad de sagde ja til, da de stemte for at træde ud af Den Europæiske Union.

Oversat til:

In conclusion, the British had no clue whatsoever what was in store for them when they voted in favour of leaving the European Union.

Derefter skal man samle op på det, som man har diskuteret eller argumenteret for i hoveddelen af essayet.

It is clear that the British community was enthralled by right-wing arguments about the economy, which evidently are not true. It is not true that Britain will be able to negotiate a good trade deal with the European Union without all the drawbacks that come with being part of the Single Market. Firstly, Britain will have to pay a large sum of money to the EU to be part of the Single Market. Secondly, Britain will not be able avoid the free movement of people from all European countries if they want to be a part of the Single Market. Both of these claims were made by then Ukip leader Nigel Farage and then Conservative London mayor Boris Johnson. It is now clear that the British have been misled. Tragically, there is now no turning back.

Denne konklusion til et “tænkt” essay er ikke specielt god, fordi den formentlig ikke samler op på alle de væsentlige ting, som er blevet diskuteret i hoveddelen, da den fokuserer lidt for meget på nogle detaljer. Men den bør dog give en rimelig god idé om, hvordan en konklusion kan skrives.
