In Thursday's lesson I said that "you don't need to write a conclusion" for task 1.
I've realised that I should have been more direct with this advice. I should have said "you should not write a conclusion for writing task 1".
English speakers are sometimes too tactful when giving advice. We find it hard to say "you should" or "you must"!
Simon_ I suppose it's a way to say something politely..IS IT ??
Would Simon or any other English speaker please like to elaborate why do they find it hard to say " you should" or " you must" , I mean how would it sound to them, if they advised like that ?? Thank you
( just asking to know bit more about native speakers)

Hi Simon,
Well I think you mean I should not write conclusion in Task 1 but is this possibly if I move Overview section to Conclusion part?
Thank you so much.

It's better when we write the overview in the introduction. I did it in the IELTS test and it's okie.
