ILETS Writing. Task 1. Line graph.

The graph below shows electricity production (in terawatt hours)

 in France between 1980 and 2012.



INTRODUCTION)


The line graph presents the 4 main sources of electricity in France, namely thermal, nuclear, hydroelectric and renewables between 1980 and 2012.
->
The line graph compares the amount of electricity produced in France using four different sources of power over a period of 32 years.



OVERVIEW) 

It is clear that the highest source of electricity was nuclear. The lowest electricity production was renewables.
->
It is clear that nuclear power was the most important means of electricity generation over the period shown. Renewables provided the lowest amount of electricity in each year.



1ST Details paragraph)


The electricity production of thermal was the highest at more than 100TW-h in 1980. During that year, hydroelectric and nuclear were used as sources of electricity with almost 70TW-h. And renewables had not been used between 1980 and 1996.
->
In 1980, the electricity production of thermal power stations was the highest source of electricity in France, generating around 120 terawatt hours of power. In the same year, hydroelectric and nuclear power stations were used as sources of electricity with almost 70 terawatt hours each, and renewables provided a very minute amount. Just a year later, nuclear power overtook thermal power as the primary source of electricity.




2ND Details paragraph)

The electricity production by using nuclear increased rapidly after 1980 until 2000 and it steadly increased between 2000 and 2006. Aside from that, it little decreased between 2006and 2009 and increased again between 2006 and 2011. In 2012 it was little decreased again but it was still the highest source of making electricity. Renewables was used firstly in 1996 after than, it steadly increased until 2012 at 50 terawatt hours of power but it was still the lowest source of electricity.
->
Between 1980 and 2005, electricity production from nuclear power rose dramatically to a peak of 430 terawatt hours. In contrast, the thermal power fell to only 40 terawatt hours in 1986, and remained at this average level for the rest of the period. Hydroelectric power generation remained relatively stable for the whole 32-period, at between 50 to 80 terawatt hours, but renewable electricity production only saw a small rise to approximately 25 terawatt hours by 2012.
