A conclusion is the final section of a report in which you have to tie together what was presented in
the report, summing up the main point, explaining how the report was proven, and successfully
closing the discussion. The conclusion is often the most difficult part of a report to write, and many
students feel that they have nothing left to say after having presented points proving their thesis in
the body of the report. However, the conclusion is often the part of the report that a reader
remembers best, and thus must be effective to be strong. Here you summarize the work you have
done. Clearly re-state your contribution, what you have learned, experienced and acquired. Relate
these to what you have learned in the organization. You can also give your suggestions and do not
forget to quote the limitations of your study.
