Example of an Conclusion / Concluding Sentences in Neon Green:
After I tried out for band, I learned that there were several things that I had to do for a good performance. The first reason, I like the band is that it has given me the chance to play on my drums. Practicing on my drums allows me to be a better performer. Becoming a better player makes it easier for me to be in front of people on stage. Clearly, what I have experienced by being in band has helped me to grow and be a better musician.
