文章結尾的形式也是多種多樣的，常見的有以下幾種：
1、首尾呼應，畫龍點睛
在文章的結尾，把含義較深的話放在末尾，以點明主題，深化主題，起到畫龍點睛的效果。如I Cannot Forget Her （我忘不了她）的結尾：
After her death，I felt as if something were missing in my life. I was sad over her passing away，but I knew she would not have had any regrets at having given her life for the benefit of the people.
2、重複主題句
結尾回到文章開頭闡明的中心思想或主題句上，達到強調的效果。如I love My Home Town（我愛家鄉）的結尾：
I love my home town，and I love its people. They too have changed. They are going all out to do more for the good of our motherland.
3、自然結尾
隨着文章的結束，文章自然而然地結尾。如Fishing（釣魚）的結尾：
I caught as many as twenty fish in two hours，but my brother caught many more. Tired from fishing，we lay down on the river bank，bathing in the sun. We returned home very late.
