It is often observed that students tend to write their opinions in the conclusion part. However, it is more logical to state your opinion in the thesis statement first and then extend it in the body paragraphs, ideally at the end of second BP.
There are two simple reasons for doing this:
1. You have been clearly instructed to give your opinion. It is as necessary as the others' views expressed in the prompt. Hence, it (your opinion) must be sufficiently developed with supporting arguments.
2. The conclusion section is not the place to introduce new ideas. If you never discussed or mentioned your opinion anywhere in the body paragraphs, it does not make sense to introduce it in the conclusion part. It violates the fundamental purpose and method of writing conclusions.
I hope it helps.
