The easiest way to write a short, effective conclusion is to paraphrase what you wrote in your introduction. Let's try this with the introduction I wrote last week.
Introduction
It is true that the top sports people earn incredibly high salaries. Although reasons can be given to justify this, I personally believe that sports stars should be paid much less.
Conclusion (loosely paraphrasing the introduction)
In conclusion, I do not accept the argument that sports professionals deserve to be paid so much more than people who do other important jobs.
Note:
Notice that I wrote "loosely paraphrasing" (I paraphrased the overall idea, rather than word for word).

Hello every one,
This is my complete version of the essay.
Simon has already provided the first paragraph for disadvantages. i have completed the rest.
Please feel free to comment.
Experts have different views about the appropriate age for the children to learn a foreign language.In my opinion, the primary age is the best age for the children to learn a foreign language. There are benefits and drawbacks associated with it. but the advantages of learning at primary age outweigh the disadvantages.
It is true that there are some disadvantages of learning a foreign language at young age. The main concern is that young children needs to study others subjects which are considered as more important than the foreign language .The primary subjects in the school are the mother tongue, mathematics and physics and it is argued that the introduction of new language takes a significant amount of study time and it often considered as waste of time and confusion for few children. In particular, some people might worry that the new language can cause the delay in the development of children first language.
On the other hand, there are some good advantages of allowing children’s to learn a foreign language at a young age. Firstly, Young children have the ability to learn things faster than the children at secondary school. Secondly, young children are less self-conscious and shy which allows them to pick the pronunciation better which is not the same case for elder people. Most of the elder children are scared to speak a foreign language as they feel that people will laugh at them if they pronounce the words wrongly. Finally, now a days foreign language are just as important as other subjects like Mathematics and physics. So it is important for children to learn a new language other than the main subject .
In conclusion, Allowing Children at young age to learn a foreign language will be benefited more as the chances of mastering the language are better compared to children at secondary school.

Do you think my conclusion is okay? Thank you very much.
In conclusion, sports celebrities deserve to be rewarded for their achievements but they should not be paid so much more than other people who do other important jobs.

What about:
In conclusion, sports people should not be paid too much compared to other equally important professions.
