Writing Task 1
The pie charts below show units of electricity production by fuel
source in Australia and France in 1980 and 2000.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features,
and make comparisons where relevant.
Write at least 150 words.
Units of electricity by fuel source in Australia
Units of electricity by fuel source in France
Task 1
The pie charts compare the sources
of electricity produced using five different sources of fuel in Australia and
France in 1980 and 2000. Between these years, electricity production almost
doubled, rising from 100 to 170 units in Australia, and from 90 to 180 units in
France.
In 1980, Australia used coal as the
main electricity source (50 units) and the remainder was produced from natural
gas, hydro power (each producing 20 units) and oil (which produced only 10
units). By 2000, coal became the fuel for than 75% of electricity produced and
only hydro continued to be the other significant source supplying approximately
20%.
In contrast, France used coal as a
source for only 25 units of electricity in 1980, which was matched by natural
gas. The remaining 40 units were produced largely from oil and nuclear power,
with hydro contributing only 5 units. But, by 2000, nuclear power, which was
not used at all in Australia, developed into the main source, producing almost
75% of electricity, at 126 units, while coal and oil together produced only 50
units. The other sources were no longer significant.
Overall, it is clear that by 2000
these two countries relied on different principal fuel sources: Australia
relied on coal and France on nuclear power.
