Task 1 is simply reporting what you see, so there shouldn't be any of your ideas or your opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of a conclusion, you should write an overview.<\/p>\n<p>The reason lots of people get confused about this is that some teachers, books and even one British Council website call the overview a 'conclusion'. It's not a conclusion, it's an overview.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it does not matter where you put the overview paragraph. We teach our students to put it after the introduction, but it is also fine to have it as your final paragraph.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>How many words should I write?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You must write at least 150 words in Writing Task 1 (yes, the examiners will count them!)<\/p>\n<p>I would suggest that you aim to write around 160-170 words for Task 1. Aiming for 20-30 words more than the required amount makes you more likely to reach the word limit without setting an unrealistic goal. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Will I lose marks if I don&#039;t write enough words?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes.
