Most essays are made up of a beginning, a middle and an end．The beginning arouses the reader’s interest to 　　 his attention to the subject of the essay or 　　 the necessary background information. The middle gives us clear and logical 　　 of the facts and ideas the writer intends to put forth. The end winds up the essay with a forceful statement to influence the reader’s 　　 impression and shows consequences of the argument.

To the writer the beginning is often the hardest part of an essay, because he has to decide from what point to 　　 , and in what direction to go. The end is important because it often gives the reader the deepest impression. It should be short, forceful and thought-provoking. No 　　 ideas should be introduced in a concluding paragraph.

Sometimes it is good to 　　 the concluding paragraph to the introduction. If, for instance, a question is raised in the beginning, an answer should be given in the end．

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"

The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless （鲁莽的） or daring, the ride can be as thrilling （惊心动魄的） as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.

The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the armrests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.
