Dear Tutors:

i'm going to give an oral presentation about my self-learning experience.
i'd like to talk about the goals i set, the materials i use, the method i apply and a brief conclusion. i want to know if i use "summary" instead of "conclusion", will it be better?

Thanks a lot!

Either one is fine!

You can say "in conclusion" or "in summary" at the end of your presentation--they mean the same thing. You can also say "to summarize."

It sounds like a fascinating presentation!
Good luck!
