Help for a grammar point real quick... - 07-22-2010, 06:30 AM

I have a speech for a class I have to deliver in an hour and I cant remember how to wrap up my speech.

I want to say something along the lines of "In conclusion....(then deliver my conclusion) ".

Ill either remember it or think of something else until then if I dont get any replies but if you happen to be on here and can help that would be great!

Your conclusion should be similar to your introduction, but just summing up what you just said instead of summing up what you are going to say.

Can't add に to つまり.

You can use 要するに、結論(けつろん)として or 最後に.

What about つまりに...

Is it OK? What can be said which might be more appropriate.

Appreciate the help MMM
