Used to introduce a brief final summary of the predictions you have already made.
“To sum up my predictions, the store will likely run out of stock by tonight.”
“To sum up my predictions, the couple will probably reschedule their trip.”
This phrase is ideal for closing your Task 4 response within the one-minute time limit, giving the examiner a clear, organized ending, such as 'To sum up my predictions, I believe the man will lose his match and feel disappointed.' Using a closing phrase like this shows strong structure, which is one of the key things examiners look for in a well-organized speaking response.
Synonyms: in summary, to conclude, overall
