The first chart below shows how energy is used in an average Australian household. The second chart shows the percentage of greenhouse gas emissions which result from this energy use.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The percentage of household energy use in Australia:

The percentage of greenhouse gas produced in Australia:

Sample answer:

The two pie charts describe the use of energy by an average Australian household and emission of greenhouse gas from the use of energy respectively. The first pie chart compares the power consumptions of electronic appliances in a typical Australian house whereas the second one shows data on the percentages of greenhouse effects of these power-consuming appliances. As observed, the more energy a household appliance consumes, the more greenhouse gas it emits.

As can be observed, water heating, keeping the house warm or cool consumes most of the energy required in an average Australian family with 23% and 20% respectively. Cooking utilises 5%, standby 5% and lighting 11% with total utilisation of 21% of the power while refrigerators need 12% electricity. All other appliances consume the rest 24% of the energy share.

Interestingly, the percentage of energy a particular appliance requires to run and the percentage of greenhouse gas this device produces is directly proportional except heating and cooling device. Heating water produces 25% of greenhouse gases, warming and cooling the rooms attribute 38% with more than half of the total greenhouse gas emission.

Cooking, stand by and lighting combinedly contribute to 14% gas production which is

almost same as the amount produced by other appliances in a house.
