How should I write a conclusion to a critical essay?

A conclusion is a recap of your essay and the perfect place to highlight your ideas and opinions on the text. It is useful to follow a simple structure such as REF:Refer-refer back to the essay question to ensure you are consistent with your answer.Evaluate-recap and evaluate the points you have made throughout the essay, giving your opinion on how effective the techniques are and discussing the impact they had on you.Final Statement-this is where you leave your reader with a final point to finish your essay, be bold and you will leave the reader with a lasting impression.Other Important Tips Include:-Start your conclusion with the name of the text and author again, giving a very short summary of the plot.-Practice using the formula/structure but once you have built confidence you need to make sure the conclusion is powerful and unique to your opinions.-A conclusion is essentially a mini introduction which includes spoilers to your essay!
