Summarizing is an important element of conclusion, but you should find a fresh and
concise way of doing this. You should not repeat what you said in the body. The neat
final sentence leaves the reader something to think about. Sometimes, it can be a call
for action; it is something you want them to do after every point you raised in the
body.
So, if your readers are looking for specific information, they are somehow guided as to
where to find them. Likewise, if you are looking for an information, you are also guided
as to the part of the text to turn to. In addition to the general contents of academic
texts that are mentioned in the flowcharts, the usual information that are asked for
when reading are the 5W’s and 1H (what, who, when, where, why and how)
information.
The table 1 below lists the common examples of these questions and the parts you can turn to for the
information.
