Well, you miss out one of the most important features for this task which is the Overview in that you tell the reader about main observations or trends. Note that this overview should not contain any details. This is how the structure goes;

1. Introduction
2. Overview
3. Details (you can have about two paras for this section while others can be even just one sentence)

Yep, I get your point. Some say that It does not matter to have your overview in the conclusion or the introduction provided that you write an overview in one of these places. But, in my personal view, it is much more presentable if you stick to the structure of Introduction, Overview and Details. I believe that a conclusion for this task is not really necessary because this task does not expect you to write any analysis or opinion. Conclusion is a must for the Task 2.

Introduction is missing here.
