In the Introduction you should write the following:

General information about the research topic (in two or three sentences)
Why you decided to choose this topic (in one or two sentences)
Basic research question (in one sentence)
Explain why the research question is important (in about two sentences)
What you expected to find out in your research (your hypothesis)
Research objectives (two or three objectives)
Describe briefly the general structure of your research paper, e.g. ‘’our research paper consists of introduction, two chapters, conclusions, references and appendices.”

Chapter 1 should address the objective 1.
Chapter 2 should address the objective 2.

Conclusion must be clear and logical. For example, you briefly explain what was found out (what you discovered); then you make clear statements, such as
