These are examples of good endings for your composition. I'm sure you are all familiar with good beginnings, therefore let's start to end our writing well too! :)
“Where am I? Mum, is that you?”
“ We could not save the motorcycle, dear. It was damaged beyond repair. We also had to amputate your legs as they were severely burnt …”
It was then that I realized that I could not feel my toes. Grief overcame me. My dream of becoming a professional athlete was dashed.
“ Why couldn’t I just die?” I thought to myself. I wanted to scream at the top of my voice.
Suddenly, a short sharp pain ripped through my body and I sank back into unconsciousness.

“ Why can’t I feel anything from my waist down?” I asked my wife desperately.
“ Dear, the doctor said that the accident has left you paralyzed. Don’t worry. James and I can go out and work to support this family. You must remain strong and have faith in God. A miracle may happen…” my wife answered bravely as she tried hard to hold back her tears.
I turned and faced the hospital window.
“Life would never be the same again for my family.” I murmured to myself and covered my face with the blanket as the tears started flowing down my cheeks.

The wail of the siren faded as I stared blankly at the ambulance that was heading down the road towards the hospital.
Soon the crowd dispersed and everything went back to normal.
“What would happen to the man? Will he be alright?” I thought to myself.
Although I may not get to know the answers to these questions, deep in my heart I muttered a short prayer that he would be well again soon.
It was a traumatic experience for the victim and as for the onlookers; it was indeed an unforgettable incident that would linger in our minds forever.

The police cornered the robbers swiftly. They handcuffed them and escorted them to the police car.
The wail of the siren faded as I stared blankly at the police car that was leaving the scene of crime.
“ What would happen to the criminals? How would they be sentenced in court?” I thought to myself.
Although I may not get to know the answers to these questions, deep in my heart I muttered a short prayer for them that they would have learnt their lesson that ‘Crime does not pay’.
“God, please help them to turn over a new leaf.”

The police notified my principal the next day. They told him about my good deeds. Mr Lim, my principal was very proud of me. He announced to the whole school about what I had done to help the old lady.
It was indeed the happiest day of my life!

After the incident, I was lectured severely by my parents and I have realised the harm that I have done to Judy. I was punished and grounded for a week. It was a hard lesson learnt and I promised myself I would never be so playful ever again.

My neighbours came over that night and thanked me profusely for saving the day. I blushed and smiled shyly.
“It was nothing much that I’ve done. You would do the same too if you were there.” I replied humbly.

With tears welling up his eyes, Sarah uttered,” Thank you. I’ve never met anyone as kind as you. I will always remember what you have done for me.”
That day, Sarah has learnt the true meaning of friendship.
A friend in need is a friend indeed, don’t you agree with me?
