The graph below shows the demand for electricity in England during typical days in winter and summer. The pie chart shows how electricity is used in an average English home.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The line graph illustrates the amount of consumed electricity within a day in England during winter and summer, and the pie chart gives information about the proportion of different purposes of using electricity in a typical English household.
Overall, it is noticeable from the line graph that the consumption of electricity in winter is dramatically higher than the figure in the summer. As a result, the electricity used for the heating purpose has a dominant proportion compared to others.
From the graph, the amount of electricity consumed during the winter remains higher and always stays at above 30,000 units, while during the summer, the electrical consumption keeps below 20,000 units. It is clear that the highest amount of electricity used in winter is nearly 50,000 units at around 22:00, compared to the peak consumption in summer, which is about 20,000 units, at 14:00. Moreover, during a day from 7:00 to 8:00, the consumption of electricity in both winter and summer is at the lowest point about 31,000 units and 14,000 units respectively.
Moving to the pie chart, it is apparent that electricity which is used for the heating purpose has the highest proportion of 52.5% due to high demand in winter, compared to 17.5% of electrical usage for ovens, kettles, washing machines. The equal percentage of electric demand for lighting, TV, radio; and vacuum cleaners, food mixers, electric tools is merely 15% for each group of purpose.
