The line graph illustrates the demand for electricity in England during typical days in winter and summer while the pie chart describes the purpose of its usage in an average home
In general, winter is always higher than summer in the amount of consumption For instance,
in winter, the number of units fluctuates considerably between about 30 and 40 thousand for the first nine hours, before a dramatic climb to a peak of approximately 45 thousand at 22 hour
By comparison, there is a gradual decline from 18 to 12 thousand units for the first nine hours, followed by an insignificant fluctuation between 12 and 20 thousand during final hours Strikingly, only in the last two hours do both seasons witness a decrease in the number
of units
As can be seen from the pie chart, heating reveals the highest percentage of consumption with around 50%, but other purposes show quite equal figures of about 15%
Trang 11In brief, because most electricity is used for heating, winter always outnumbers summer in the amount of consumption
