The pie and bar charts show its use and the distribution of household energy consumption in Canada in 2010. Allocation of household energy is mainly dedicated to heating, with other categories contributing only a small proportion to the total energy usage. Within heating usage, the majority was allocated to refrigerators and others, with washing machine and television consumption following closely behind. Computer usage accounted for a relatively small portion of the overall water allocation.

The total power consumption in Canda showed an uneven distribution. Heating consumption accounts for more than half the total electricity, at 54%, while water heating and appliances came 2nd and 3rd in the respective figures of 18% and 11%. Meanwhile, lighting and other energy consumers are coming last with a 1 percentage-point difference.

There was considerable variation in how energy supply is broken down in domestic power consumption. The proportion of energy used for refrigerators and washing machines was the highest, with respective figures of 30% and 22%, while with a one-percentage-point difference, others came after them. Television consumes 15%, and computers 12%, with the least amount.

Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by describing the main trends in both charts. It correctly identifies heating as the dominant category in the pie chart and highlights the key figures for refrigerators and washing machines in the bar chart. However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings that detract from clarity. For instance, the phrase 'water allocation' in the first paragraph is incorrect in context, and the statement 'the majority was allocated to refrigerators and others' is misleading because the bar chart refers to appliance energy use, not heating. Additionally, the report omits the exact figure for 'Others' in the bar chart (21%) and misstates the difference between lighting and other in the pie chart (it is 1 percentage point, but the wording is unclear). To improve, ensure precise data reporting and avoid vague or incorrect references. Organize the description more clearly by separating the pie chart and bar chart analyses, and use accurate terminology.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure with an introduction and two body paragraphs, but the flow is sometimes disrupted by unclear references and abrupt transitions. For example, the first paragraph introduces the charts but then jumps to 'heating usage' and 'water allocation,' which is confusing. The second paragraph is clearer, but the third paragraph's opening sentence is vague ('There was considerable variation in how energy supply is broken down in domestic power consumption') and does not smoothly connect to the previous paragraph. To improve, use clear topic sentences and ensure each paragraph focuses on a single main idea, with cohesive devices that guide the reader effortlessly.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary (e.g., 'distribution,' 'allocated,' 'consumption,' 'considerable variation'), but there are instances of imprecise or awkward phrasing, such as 'the majority was allocated to refrigerators and others' (which is unclear) and 'the overall water allocation' (which is incorrect in context). Also, 'came 2nd and 3rd' is informal and could be replaced with 'ranked second and third.' To improve, use more precise and natural collocations (e.g., 'accounted for,' 'represented,' 'followed by') and avoid informal or vague expressions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex structures, but there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues. For example, 'Canda' is a spelling error, 'accounts for' should be 'accounted for' to maintain tense consistency, and 'are coming last' should be 'came last.' Additionally, the phrase 'with a one-percentage-point difference, others came after them' is awkwardly constructed. To improve, ensure subject-verb agreement, maintain consistent verb tense (past tense for 2010 data), and proofread for spelling and punctuation errors. Using a wider range of complex structures with accuracy will enhance the score.
