What are the most commonly used concluding connectors?
In the art of written and oral communication, concluding connectors play an essential role in stringing ideas together and providing closure to speeches or writings. And we are here to explore it with you! Diving into the universe of these connectors will strengthen your ability to synthesize, persuade and maintain coherence in any text. So, get ready to learn about six key connectors that will illuminate your academic and professional work.
What does 'to summarize' mean?
To summarize is the essential act of distilling the essence of a topic into a few lines. It serves to provide a clear and concise overview of the key points. Imagine telling a long story: so that your audience doesn't get lost in the details, you could say: "To summarize my long story, I went to bed at 4am". Connectors like this are your allies in clarity and precision.
How do we use 'to sum up'?
To sum up also means to summarize, but it's about encapsulating a long period or amount of information into something more manageable. For example, for an assignment where you have to sum up years of history, you might use it like this: "The homework is to sum up 10 years into 500 words". It is ideal for closing speeches or writing with force.
What does it mean to say 'on the whole'?
When we say on the whole, we are talking about evaluating a whole rather than its separate parts. Suppose you had an evening full of ups and downs, but it ended up being memorable: "On the whole, this night turned out all right". Using on the whole helps to provide a global perspective, useful in analysis and reflection.
When to use 'in conclusion' and 'to conclude'?
Both 'in conclusion' and ' to conclude' are great for closing speeches in a direct and sharp way. Ideal for when you must synthesize a final truth or deduction, such as: "In conclusion, humans are the leading cause of climate change". These tools give your speeches a sense of order and authority, vital to leave a lasting impression.
How to use 'finally' in your speeches?
Finally is not just to end a statement, but to irrevocably enclose a sequence of events or arguments. Imagine describing a completed activity at the end of your day: "Finally, we watched a movie and went to bed". It is a perfect closure, pointing to the clear denouement of your words.
What special tip to keep in mind when using these connectors?
Now that you know these six connectors, here's a powerful tip that will boost your skills: these terms are very interchangeable with each other. Imagine a sentence like: "Finally, the team decided on having a new budget plan for next year", you can replace 'finally' with on the whole, to summarize, or any of the other terms without significantly changing the meaning. This gives you the flexibility to adapt your speech to suit your tone and context.
Remember, practice makes perfect. Create your own examples, use these connectors in your writing and share your results. Also, download and complete additional materials to consolidate your learning - keep going, excellence is just one step away!

These are helpful when you need to emphasize, make a contrast or explain in more detail your idea; However, sometimes we forget to use it… but don’t worry, it’s not an obligation to use it always.
