The bar chart compares how much of the total energy supply comes from renewable energy sources in 4 nations between 1997 and 2010.

Overall, compared to Iceland and Turkey, Australia and Sweden relied much less on renewable energy. In addition, while Australia and Turkey experienced a decreasing trend, the opposite was true for Sweden and Iceland. Moreover, the most noticeable difference was shown by Iceland.

Focusing on the highest figures first, these were recorded in Iceland and Turkey. Starting at 45% in 1997 in Iceland the percentage of renewable energy increased to 60% by 2000, following by a further rise to 70%, reaching its all-time peak. As for Turkey, a slight increase was seen, rising from 28% to 40%, but had fallen to around 32% at the end of the period.

By contrast, Australia and Sweden showed the reversal pattern. The proportion of renewable energy sources, which stood at 9% in Australia, fell to approximately 6%, and then to 4%. Sweden saw a minimal rise throughout the period, increasing from about 6% in 1997 to 9% by 2010, with 7% in the middle.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by identifying the main trends and making relevant comparisons between the four countries. The overview is clear and highlights the primary differences in energy reliance and trends. Data is reported accurately according to the visual description, and the structure is logical. To improve, ensure that the grouping of information in the body paragraphs remains strictly consistent; for example, while Turkey had the second-highest figures, its trend was not entirely consistent with Iceland's, which could be more nuanced in the description. Overall, it is a strong, well-organized response.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'In addition', 'Moreover', and 'By contrast' helps guide the reader through the comparisons effectively. The paragraphing is logical, separating the overview, the high-value countries, and the low-value countries. To reach a higher band, ensure that transitions between sentences within a paragraph are even more seamless to avoid a slightly formulaic feel.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and varied, with good use of terms like 'proportion', 'experienced a decreasing trend', 'all-time peak', and 'reversal pattern'. There is a good attempt to use synonyms to avoid repetition. To improve, you could incorporate more sophisticated collocations or more precise academic verbs to describe trends (e.g., 'fluctuated', 'surged', or 'diminished').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of structures, including complex sentences and relative clauses. However, there are some minor grammatical slips that prevent a higher score, such as 'following by' (which should be 'followed by') and some minor punctuation issues. Ensuring that participle phrases and prepositional phrases are used with perfect accuracy will help elevate the grammatical precision.
