hmmmm My teacher said to summarise the intro...just reword it...and make it sound good in different words.

What?!
really...I would say the opp, don't just re-word your intro...draw some kind of conclusion from what you are discussing/arguing and why.

Make sure you actually come to a conclusion about your question - dont just present a rehashed summary of your ideas - remember the marker has read all that in your essay.
You want to show the marker that you understood and formed an opinion on the question which shows that you know you text and module.

You should restate your thesis, summarise your points and put some sort of closure which concludes your argument.
However, in the HSC exam, you would not score any extra marks for having a fancy conclusion, so don't spend too much time trying to perfect it. I've seen some high range responses that have a very comprehensive body with each paragraph taking up a whole page, but the separate paragraph for the conclusion is no more than 5 lines.
The conclusion should be there just to indicate that this is the end of your argument and most conclusions just reinforce the main ideas and organisation in the response.
