The given pie charts demonstrate the usage of energy and greenhouse gas emissions from the usage of this energy in the average Australian household.

Overall, while energy was mostly used for heating, water heating contributed the most to the emissions of greenhouse gas.

As shown in the charts, in the average Australian household, water heating , which was the second largest appliance contributing to the energy expenditure, accounted for 30% of the used energy, whereas the same area had the largest percentage of the greenhouse emissions, with 32%. The percentage of energy used for refrigeration made up 7%; the proportion of the greenhouse emissions from refrigeration was twice as large as that of the usage of energy in refrigeration. 15% of energy in the average Australian household was used on other appliances, and proportion of greenhouse gas emissions was nearly two times larger – 28%.

Regarding heating, while 42% of energy was used on it, becoming the largest energy expenditure, only 15% of all green house emissions was from heating. Cooling and lightning, which had the lowest percentages in both areas, in summary had 6% of used energy, and the total proportion of greenhouse gas emissions was 11%, with lighting (4% and 8%) contributing the most to both sums.

Task Response

The report effectively summarizes the information presented in the pie charts, highlighting the main features and making relevant comparisons. The organization is clear, with an overview followed by detailed descriptions of the data. There is a generally good selection of data, although more could have been said about the 'other appliances' category in the first chart. To improve, ensure that all significant data points are addressed and that the relationships between the charts are thoroughly explored.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The information is presented logically, and comparisons are made effectively. However, there are a few instances where the flow could be improved. For example, the transition between discussing refrigeration and 'other appliances' could be smoother. Consider using transition words or phrases to link ideas more explicitly. Also, ensure that each paragraph focuses on a clear, distinct aspect of the data to enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary suitable for describing the data. Terms like 'expenditure,' 'proportion,' and 'emissions' are used appropriately. To further enhance the lexical resource, consider incorporating more varied synonyms and avoiding repetition of phrases like 'percentage of' by using alternatives such as 'share of' or 'proportion of'. Also, try to use more precise language to describe the data, for example, instead of 'twice as large,' use 'double'. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good command of grammar with a variety of sentence structures. There are a few grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. For example, in the sentence 'water heating, which was the second largest appliance contributing to the energy expenditure, accounted for 30% of the used energy,' the phrasing could be more concise. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and correct use of articles. Proofreading carefully can help eliminate these minor errors.
