Band 6+: The two line graphs below show New Zealand import figures from Australia and Japan in the years 1994 - 2004. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. You should write at least 150 words.

The following graph shows the production levels of the main kinds of fuel in the UK between 1981 and 2000. There are three major fuels: Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Coal.

Interestingly, we can see that Petroleum has the highest share of energy. From the beginning of 1981, Petroleum held 90 energy units. It consistently rose and stayed stable for three years. Till 1987, the share of Petroleum’s energy unit was 140. The growth declined soon after that period. It was around 100 in 1991. Then again the growth journey started and this fuel reached the production level of 140 in 2000.

Let’s now focus on the two other resources. Coal has seen a different journey at the production level. While this fuel started from 80 energy units, within a few years, it had seen a major decline. It was below forty in the year of 1984. But gradually, Coal had a production growth and remained somewhere between 60 until it’s 1991. The curve continued to decline on a downward slope. Finally, we see that coal production was the lowest among the three major fuel resources.

What’s more, Natural gas is another popular natural resource in our study. The production limit was somehow stable between 1981 to 1990. But in the last 10 years, there has been a static upward growth in Natural Gas. It raised up to 100 Million Tons of oil production when it was heading over to the 21st Century.

Overall, the graph depicts some interesting data on the fuels and their production levels. We can evaluate the ups and downs of the essential natural resources in the United Kingdom between 1981-2000.
