Đề bài
The table below shows the energy consumption in five different countries in 2020. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
Sample Answer (Band 8.5)
The table provides information about energy consumption measured in million tonnes of oil equivalent (MTOE) across five countries in 2020.
Overall, China had the highest energy consumption at 3,500 MTOE, which was more than double that of the United States (1,450 MTOE). India ranked third with 900 MTOE, followed by Japan at 400 MTOE. Australia consumed the least energy at 150 MTOE.
Breaking down the figures, China's consumption was exceptionally high, accounting for approximately 60% of the total energy used by all five countries combined. The United States, despite being the second-largest consumer, used less than half of China's amount. India's consumption was roughly twice that of Japan, while Australia's figure was the smallest, representing only 2.5% of China's total.
In conclusion, there was a significant disparity in energy consumption among these countries, with China and the US being the dominant consumers, while Australia had the lowest consumption levels.
