CONCLUSION

Paragraph 1Paragraph 2Paragraph 3

Each paragraph links to your eventual conclusion and helps to prove it – conclusion is not a surprise! This is called LINE OF ARGUMENT

A ‘typical’ PEE explanation:

History is my favourite subject. For example, it involves looking at different peoples’ opinions. This means that I enjoy the debate and heated discussion.

Now move away from PEE – add flair throughout part or (moving on to )all of your writing!

Hearing, reading and experiencing the differing opinions of many is the aspect of History I enjoy most. Heated discussion and debate is the culmination, which consequently makes History ultimately my favourite subject.
