新GRE作文文章結尾的作用是概括全文內容，進一步強調或肯定文章的中心思想，使文章意義表達得更加深刻。常見的考試作文結尾有以下幾種：
1、自然結尾
隨著文章的結束，文章自然而然地結尾。如Fishing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.
2、用反問結尾
雖然形式是問句，但意義卻是肯定的，並具有特別的強調作用，引起讀者深思。如Should We Learn to Do Housework? 的結尾。
Everyone should learn to do housework. Dont you aGREe，boys and girls?
3、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 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.
4、含蓄性的結尾
用比喻或含蓄的手法不直接點明作者的看法，而是讓讀者自己去領會和思考。如A Day of Harvesting的結尾：
