THESIS (Last sentence of Introductory Paragraph):

It is important to take English in high school because it enhances your communication skills, meets the requirements to get into college, and helps when looking for a job.

CONCLUSION (Fifth and final paragraph):

As you can see, taking English is not just something that schools make you do for no reason. English has legitimate application in the real world. ________________________________
