Writing Task 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The graph below shows the production levels of the main kinds of fuel in the UK between 1981 and 2000. Summarize the formation by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. You should write at least 150 words.

The line graph illustrates the production levels of fuel in the UK from 1981 to 2000. The unit of measurement used in energy is millions of tones.

Overall

, natural gas shows an increasing trend of upward movement from the beginning of the

year

to the end,

While

the the other two, petroleum and coal show fluctuating movement from the start.

To begin

with, in 1981 natural gas, started at around 40

million

tonnes

, but slowly increased to above 40

million

tonnes

in 1991 until it reached the peak of 100

tonnes

million

in 2000. Looking at the trend of petroleum, the starting point climbed to 140

million

tonnes

until 1986,

hence

, in 1991 it declined to just under 100

million
