    How do I come up with an ending sentence on my report of a famous person?
    Community Answer
    Try to summarize the whole essay into one sentence. Take the most important facts from each paragraph, then narrow the sentences, from each paragraph, down to the most important facts. For example, if your report was on Jane Goodall, you could say: "As a conclusion, Jane Goodall was a loving person, who would never stop living her dream, to help chimpanzee's".
  • Question
