Do I need a conclusion in task 1 Academic?




There is no need for a conclusion in task 1. Task 1 is a report, and all that is required for it is an overview. An overview is a summary of the most important information in the report without any specific details. This overview can come with the introduction, after the introduction in a separate paragraph, or at the end of the report. Task 1 is factual in nature so these overviews don't contain any opinions. A good linker for an overview would be 'Overall', whereas for a conclusion we would use a linker like 'In conclusion', or To summarise'.
