Band 6+: TASK 1: The chart above shows the amount of energy generated from wind in four countries from 1985 to 2000. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The bar chart compares the amount of wind energy across four different nations from 1985 to 2000.

Overall, while the U.S witnessed moderate fluctuations in the amount of wind energy over the period, that of the others increased steadily.Notably, the U.S consistently generated the highest amount of wind energy, with the year 2000 being the only exception.

In 1985, the amount of energy generated by wind in the U.S was 1200 megawatts, which was six times higher than that of India (200 megawatts). From 1990 to 2000, while the amount of wind energy of India rose steadily to 1200 megawatts, the figure for the U.S climbed to roughly 1650 megawattes in 1990 before dropping to 1500 at the end of the period.

The amount of wind energy of Germany stood at 400 megawatts in 1985, which doubled the figure for Denmark (over 200 megawatts). Over the following five years, both of these figures increased to 650 and over 400 megawatts, respectively. However, the amount of wind energy of Denmark grew considerably and surpassed that of Germany with 1200 megawatts in 1995 and 1650 megawatts in 2000; whereas; there was a slight growth of 250 megawatts from 1990 to 2000 in the figure for Germany.
