The pie charts illustrate three sources used to provide electricity – fossil fuel, nuclear and renewable energy – in three different countries, named X, Y and Z.

Overall, fossil fuels were the dominant source of electricity in country X and Y, whereas country Z were largely dependent on renewable energy. Country Y distributed electricity sources much more balanced.

In country X, fossil fuels supplied nearly three-quarters of electricity, at 72 %, followed by renewables and nuclear at 20% and 8% respectively.Despite the balanced energy mix, country Y also relied heavily on fossil fuels, which nearly a half of its electricity. While nuclear accounted for 30% of electricity production, renewables made up a quarter of it, with 25%.

Country Z presented the contrasting pattern, which was significantly dependent on renewable energy to generate electricity at 65%,more than double that of fossil fuels at only 30%. Nuclear made up just 5% of producing electricity, the smallest shares of any sources across three countries considered.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the main features of the three pie charts and making relevant comparisons. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. The overview correctly identifies the dominant sources and the balanced mix in Country Y. However, there are minor grammatical issues (e.g., 'country Z were largely dependent' should be 'was largely dependent'; 'which nearly a half' is incomplete) and some phrasing could be more precise (e.g., 'the smallest shares of any sources'). To improve, ensure subject-verb agreement and complete sentences. Overall, the response is well-organized and covers the key points appropriately.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-structured with a clear introduction, an overview paragraph, and detailed comparisons. The message flows logically, and the use of cohesive devices is generally effective. To improve, consider using a wider variety of linking words and phrases to enhance the flow between sentences and paragraphs, and ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single main idea.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and demonstrates a good range, with terms like 'dominant source', 'balanced energy mix', and 'contrasting pattern'. There is evidence of natural and sophisticated control. To reach a higher band, aim for even more precise and varied vocabulary, such as using 'predominantly' instead of 'largely', and 'constituted' instead of 'made up'. Avoid minor repetition like 'electricity' appearing multiple times. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, and punctuation is generally correct. However, there are a few grammatical errors, such as 'country Z were largely dependent' (should be 'was'), and 'which nearly a half of its electricity' (missing verb). Additionally, 'the smallest shares' should be 'the smallest share'. Improving accuracy with subject-verb agreement and sentence completeness will help achieve a higher score.
