Key Features
Introduction
● The graph shows the use of solar energy in four different countries.
● The line graph displays the use of power from the sun in the USA, Germany, Japan
and China. (18 words)
● The line graph compares the use of solar energy in four different countries - the
USA, Germany, Japan and China - between 1995 and 2015. (23 words)
Overview
● Overall, America and China’s use of solar power increased significantly
over the entire time period. Japan’s use decreased gradually and
German’s remained relatively stable. (24 words)
● Overall, the usa of solar power increased significantly in most
countries over the time in question, with the notable exception of
Japan, where it decreased gradually, and Germany, where it remained
relatively stable. (33 words)
Body 1
● The United States was the biggest consumer of solar energy in 1995 with just below
8000 and increased consistently every year to around 18000 in 2015. China was the
lowest overall user at the start of the period at around 1000, but steadily increased to
just over 2000 over the next 10 years, before increasing consumption dramatically to
become the second highest consumer with nearly 12000 in 2015. (68 words)
● The United States was the highest consumer of solar energy in 1995 with roughly 8000
and its consumption rose consistently each year, reaching around 18000 in 2015 - the
highest level recorded in the given graph. China, which had the lowest consumption at
the start of the period (approximately 1000), steadily increased its usage until 2015,
before experiencing a dramatic rise over the next decade, becoming the second highest
consumer with nearly 12000 in 2015. (74 words)
Body 2
● Japan’s use began the recorded period with around 6000 and this consistently
dropped year on year to just below 4000 in 2015. Germany’s value hovered
between approximately 2000 and 3000 throughout the entire period. (34
words)
● Japan’s solar energy consumption began the recorded period with around
6000 and consistently declined to just below 4000 in 2015. In contrast,
Germany’s consumption fluctuated between approximately 2000 and 3000
throughout the entire period. (34 words)

Overall, America and China’s use of solar power increased significantly over the entire time
period. Japan’s use decreased gradually and German’s remained relatively stable.

The line graph compares the use of solar energy in four different countries - the USA,
Germany, Japan and China - between 1995 and 2015.
Overall, the usa of solar power increased significantly in most countries over the time in
question, with the notable exception of Japan, where it decreased gradually, and Germany,
where it remained relatively stable.
The United States was the highest consumer of solar energy in 1995 with roughly 8000 and its
consumption rose consistently each year, reaching around 18000 in 2015 - the highest level
recorded in the given graph. China, which had the lowest consumption at the start of the
period (approximately 1000), steadily increased its usage until 2015, before experiencing a
dramatic rise over the next decade, becoming the second highest consumer with nearly 12000
in 2015.
Japan’s solar energy consumption began the recorded period with around 6000 and
consistently declined to just below 4000 in 2015. In contrast, Germany’s consumption
fluctuated between approximately 2000 and 3000 throughout the entire period. (164 words)
The line graph highlights data about how many people participated in 5 various activities at one social
club in Melbourne , Australia for the first two decades of XXI century.
Overall, over the years more participants got involved in activities on Table tennis and Musical plays,
while Amateur dramatics lost its interest for public. Being flactuated, two types of activities, which
are are Film club and Martial arts levelled off. Another striking point is that over a twenty-year period
between 2000 and 2020, the film club kept its position as the most popular activity.
Looking at the details of Table tennis, in 2000, there were about 15 participants in club for it. In the
next 10 years, it attracted 5 more members, before a dramatic surge from 20 to below 60
participants. In 2015, the activity on Musical performances introduced and over the following 15
years, it saw a steady increase on the number of participants by about 20 in the last year.
Regarding next two activities, Film club and Martial arts, the saw fluctuations, but without any
changes in the overall position. Film club started the process with about 60 members and finished it
just below 70, while the participants of Martial arts kept their numbers around 35.
The number of participants of amateurs on draturgy was about 25 and it saw a steady decrease then
by 10.
