The graph illustrates changes in the amounts of beef, lamb, chicken and fish consumed in a particular European country between 1979 and 2004.

In 1979 beef was by far the most popular of these foods, with about 225 grams consumed per person per week. Lamb and chicken were eaten in similar quantities (around 150 grams), while much less fish was consumed (just over 50 grams). However, during this 25-year period the consumption of beef and lamb fell dramatically to approximately 100 grams and 55 grams respectively. The consumption of fish also declined, but much less significantly to just below 50 grams, so although it remained the least popular food, consumption levels were the most stable.

The consumption of chicken, on the other hand, showed an upward trend, overtaking that of lamb in 1980 and that of beef in 19. By 2004 it had soared to almost 250 grams per person per week.

Overall, the graph shows how the consumption of chicken increased dramatically while the popularity of these other foods decreased over the period.

The pie chart below shows where energy is used in a typical Australian household, and the table shows the amount of electricity used according to the number of occupants. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. Household energy use in Australia

Amount of electricity used in a typical Australian home

Number of people in the house 1 2 3 6 or more Electricity used: kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year 5,000-6,500 6,000-8,000 7,500-10,000 12,000-16,000 The pie chart illustrates the proportion of energy consumed by different appliances in an average Australian home. In general, the pie chart shows that temperature control, both for heating and cooling, is the major user, followed by water heating, and the table shows that energy consumer per capita drops as household size increases.

Heating and cooling devices account for almost 40% of total energy, and water heating consumes a quarter of total household power. Other appliances, such as dishwashers, televisions and smaller items, make up 16% of energy consumption. Slightly less than half that amount is used for both refrigeration and lighting. Standby power comprises a remarkable 3% compared with stoves, ovens and other cooking equipment then expend only 4% of household energy.

The table shows that a single person’s electricity usage is 5,000 to 6,500 kWh per annum, whereas two people use a similar amount or nut much more. A three-person Australian household typically uses about the same as two people (6,000-8,000) or perhaps up to 10,000 kWh. Six people or more living in the same house only double the consumption of a two-person household.

In summary, all forms of heating and cooling – air temperature, water, refrigeration and cooking – are major consumers of energy in Australian houses, and it is more economical to live in a larger household.
