Conclusion 
     Therefore, Keith Two-Bit Matthews should be found guilty of shoplifting because he possesses  stolen goods and  because his friends have admitted that when they think of him they think of his shoplifting skills.  Rather than sending him to jail for a long time, the prosecution recommends that the court  give him a short jail sentence and then require him to find employment and pay back the stores for the items he has taken.  This would punish Mr. Mathews for his crimes, and hopefully help a young man change his ways.

2.	Presents one or two general sentences which accurately summarise your arguments (reasons)  which support the main premise
