The pie charts illustrate the percentage of electricity output from various sources in a particular country in 2000 and 2020.

Overall, while there was a remarkable decrease of coal over the period, water bodies remained static. Additionally, coal lost its initial dominance to gas, which became the principal source of electricity in 2020.

In 2000, coal was the major source of electricity, comprising 45% of the total. Following distantly behind were gas and nuclear power, whose figures stood at 20% and 15%, respectively. Finally, while 12% of the electricity was derived from hydropower, only 8% of it stemmed from renewables.

By 2020, the proportions in the mix had shifted considerably. Gas became the primary source of electricity, rising from its initial position to 28%. The figure for coal almost halved, dropping to 25% of electricity generation, whereas the share of renewable sources went up to 25%, more than tripling from its former rank. Lastly, the percentage of nuclear power mildly dropped to 10%, while hydropower levelled off across the whole period.

The data is presented logically, with effective comparisons between the two years. The structure is well-organized, and the language used to describe changes (e.g., 'lost its initial dominance', 'more than tripling', 'levelled off') is precise and sophisticated.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is exceptionally well-organized. The progression of ideas is logical, moving from a clear overview to a detailed breakdown of the two years. Cohesive devices are used naturally (e.g., 'Overall', 'Additionally', 'By 2020', 'Lastly') to guide the reader through the comparisons without being repetitive or intrusive. Paragraphing is used effectively to separate the introduction, overview, and specific data analysis.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is sophisticated and highly appropriate for an academic report. You have demonstrated a wide range of lexical features, such as using synonyms for 'source' (e.g., 'output', 'mix', 'rank') and varied verbs to describe changes (e.g., 'stemmed from', 'halved', 'levelled off', 'tripling'). The use of terms like 'initial dominance' and 'principal source' shows a high level of control and precision.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report exhibits a wide range of complex grammatical structures used with full flexibility and accuracy. You successfully employed various sentence types, including comparative structures ('more than tripling from its former rank') and subordinate clauses ('while 12% of the electricity was derived from...').
