Thursday, May 16, 2013WRITING TASK 1
You should spend
about 20 minutes on this task.
The graph below
gives information from a 2008 report about consumption of energy in the USA since
1980 with projections until 2030.
Summaries the
information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons
where relevant.
Write at least
150 words.
Sample Answer
The graph shows energy consumption in the US from 1980 to 2012 and projected consumption to 2030.
Petrol and oil
are the dominant fuel sources throughout this period, with 35 quadrillion units
used in 1980,rising to 42q in 2012. Despite
some initial fluctuation, fro 1995 there
was a steady increase. This expected to continue, reaching 47q in 2030.
Consumption of
energy derived from natural gas and coal is similar over the period. From 20q
and 15q respectively in 1980, gas showed an initial fall and coal a gradual
increase, with the two fuels equal between 1985 and 1990. Consumption has
fluctuated since 1990 but both now provide 24q. Coal is predicted to increase
steadily to 31q in 2030, whereas after 2014, gas will remain stable at 25q.
In 1980, energy
from nuclear, hydro and solar./wind power was equal at only 4q. Nuclear has
risen by 3q. and solar/wind by 2.After slight increases, hydro-power has fallen back
to the 1980 figure. It is expected to maintain this level until 2030, while the
others should rise slightly after 2025.
Overall, the US
will continue to rely on fossil fuels with sustainable and nuclear energy
sources remaining relatively insignificant.
