The two pie charts illustrate the distribution of energy used for different houshold purposes in Australia in the year 1995 and 2015.

Overall, the most noticeable features are significant rises of figures for refrigeration and other appliances. However, heating and water heating witnessed decline, while the percentage of lighting remained unchanged.

Looking first at the percentage in 1995, the majority of energy was used for heating and water heating, accounting for about 40% and 30% respectively. Nevertheless, other three categories (refriferation, lightning and other appliances) made up only 30% together.

By 2015, the proportion changed considerably. Figures for heating and water heating experienced dramatic drop to approximately 30% and 25% respectively. Nonetheless, category ‘other appliances’ increased sharply, making up 20%. Similary to the percentage mentioned above, the figure for refrigeration grew to about 15%.

Task Response

The report effectively summarizes the information presented in the pie charts, highlighting the main features and making relevant comparisons. The overall trends are clearly identified, and the changes in energy usage between 1995 and 2015 are well-described. To further enhance the response, consider including more specific data points to support the observations and ensure precise accuracy. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear structure, including an introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs. Transitions between sentences and ideas are present but could be smoother in places. For example, in the third paragraph, the transition to discussing the 1995 data could be more explicit. Consider using cohesive devices more effectively to link ideas within and between paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a sufficient range of vocabulary to discuss the data, including terms like 'distribution,' 'significant rises,' 'witnessed decline,' and 'accounting for.' However, there's room to enhance the vocabulary further to provide a more nuanced and precise description. For instance, instead of repeatedly using 'percentage,' consider synonyms like 'proportion' or 'share.' Also, explore more varied ways to describe changes, such as 'increased substantially' or 'decreased marginally.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good command of grammar with a mix of simple and complex sentences. There are a few grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. For example, 'refriferation, lightning' should be 'refrigeration, lighting', and 'Similary to the percentage mentioned above' should be 'Similarly to the percentages mentioned above'. Proofreading carefully can help eliminate these errors.
