The table illustrates the percentage of energy consumption from four sources like solar, wind, coal, and hydroelectric by three different nations, such as Australia, Canada, and China.

Overall, the given chart highlights significant variations in the percentage among countries over a period, where the highest percentage of coal in China, while the lowest percentage of solar in Canada.

Looking first at solar, it stood at 12.5% in Australia before falling to 8.7% in Canada, and also rising to 10.2% in China. In contrast, wind rose from 15.3% to 20.1%, and again decreased to 12.8%.

Turning to the remaining categories, coal dropped from 45.2% in Australia to 25.6% in Canada, and also increased to 55.7% in China. On the other hand, hydroelectric significantly grew from 10.8% to 35.4%, and down to 15.6%, respectively in China.

Task Response

The report addresses the main requirements of the task and provides an overview of the data. However, there is a significant issue with how the data is presented: the report uses comparative language typically reserved for trends over time (e.g., 'falling to', 'rising to', 'dropped from', 'grew from') to describe a static snapshot of data from a single year (2022). This creates a misleading impression that the values changed between the countries, rather than simply being different values for different nations. To improve, ensure that comparisons between categories are made using comparative structures (e.g., 'higher than', 'the highest', 'compared to') rather than directional verbs used for time-series data. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report attempts to organize information logically, but the progression of ideas is often confusing due to the way comparisons are structured. The use of comparative language (e.g., 'before falling to', 'rose from... to') is problematic because the data represents a single point in time (2022) across different countries, not a change over time. This creates a logical disconnect for the reader. To improve, focus on grouping data by country or by energy source using comparative structures like 'In contrast,' 'Similarly,' or 'While [Country A] used X, [Country B] used Y,' rather than implying a chronological sequence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for describing the data, but there is some repetitive use of basic verbs. There is also a slight misuse of certain phrases; for example, 'the given chart highlights significant variations... over a period' is inaccurate as the data is for a single year. To reach a higher band, aim for more sophisticated ways to describe proportions and comparisons, such as 'accounted for,' 'constituted,' or 'represented,' and ensure that the vocabulary accurately reflects the static nature of the table.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical issues that hinder clarity. The overview contains a fragment ('where the highest percentage of coal in China, while the lowest percentage of solar in Canada') that lacks a main verb. Additionally, the report frequently uses verbs of movement (e.g., 'falling', 'rising', 'dropped', 'grew') to describe differences between countries. In a static table, these verbs are grammatically inappropriate because they imply a temporal change. Instead, use comparative adjectives (e.g., 'was higher than', 'was the lowest') to describe the relationship between the figures.
