You are still confused about concluding sentence. Here are some explanation about it.

A concluding sentence closes the paragraph so that the reader is not left expecting more. Sometimes a concluding sentence reminds the reader of the main point by restating the topic sentence in different words. For example:

Beaches are fun in summer and in winter. In summer, you can swim and do many other water sports. If you don’t like water sports, you can play beach games or relax on the warm sand. In winter, beaches are less crowded, so they are good places for solitary walks. Also, on a clear winter night, nothing is more fun than sitting with a group of friends around a big bonfire, talking, laughing, and singing. All year round, a beach is a place to have fun.

perhatikan topic sentence: Beaches are fun and in winter.
Concluding sentence: All year round, a beach is a place to have fun.
