Bắt đầu tổng kết
As can be seen | Generally speaking | In the final analysis | All things considered | As shown above |
In the long run | Given these points | As has been noted | In a word | For the most part |
After all | In fact | In summary | In conclusion | In general |
In short | In brief | In essence | To summarize | On balance |
Altogether | Overall | Ordinarily | Usually | By and large |
To sum up | To conclude | On the whole | In any event | In either case |
All in all | Obviously | Ultimately | Definitely | In a word….. |
Examples:
1) That is to say, parents must ensure the safety of their children first………
2) In a word, the idea can be very useful for the developing countries but for the US, it might be sinister………
3) In short, the overall infrastructure of the area will develop.
4) To sum up, parents are important teachers in people’s lives and none can deny their invaluable role, but they are
not always the best teachers…….
5) On the whole, industrialization is necessary for growth, it must be regulated. The proper measures must be in place to reduce the negative impacts of byproducts on the environment.
6) In general, even though it is preferable to study English in an English-speaking country, a reasonable level of English can be achieved in one’s own country, if a student is gifted and dedicated to studying. To sum up, if the population explosion continues, many more people will die of starvation in poor countries, and life in the cities, even in affluent nations, will become increasingly difficult.
7) To conclude, I recommend that the only sensible way to solve this problem is to educate young people about the dangers of drug use and to take steps to reduce the pressure of competition placed upon them.
8) In conclusion, nuclear technology certainly has positive uses but is nonetheless dangerous. However, it would have been better if it had never been used to create nuclear weapons. If life on Earth is to continue, all the nuclear nations of the world should agree to disarm as soon as possible.
