如果把开头比作“爆竹”,那么结尾就有如“撞尾”.古人说过：“好的结尾有如咀嚼干果,品尝香茗,令人回味再三。”文章结尾的作用是概括全文内容,进一步强调或肯定文章的中心思想,使文章意义表达更加深刻.文章结尾的形式常见的有以下几种:
1. 首尾呼应,画龙点睛
在文章的结尾,把深刻的话放在末尾,以点明主题,深化主题,起到画龙点睛的效果.如“Walt Disney”的结尾:Walt Disney died in 1966,but the world will not forget him quickly.Mickey Mouse and all his friends in Disneyland will help us remember him.又如:“My Favorite Newspaper”的结尾：21st century is very popular with students and English learners.I do love it.
2. 重复主题句
结尾回到文章开头阐明的中心思想或主题句上,达到强调的效果.如：“I love my mother” 的结尾:Such is my mother, a kind and hardworking woman.I will respect and love her forever.
3.自然结尾
随着文章的结束，文章自然而然地结尾。如：“A crow and a Jar”寓言的结尾：Now the water comes up and the crow can reach it.She has a nice ,long drink at last.
用比喻或含蓄的手法不直接点明作者的看法，而是让读者自己去领会和思考。如“A Day of Harvesting”的结尾：Evening came before we realized it.We put down our sickles and looked at each other.Our clothes were wet with sweat,but on every face there was a smile.
