Task 1: Work in pairs and answer the questions:

1 What does the chart show?

2 Does it describe the past, the

present, or the future?

3 Which made up the largest

amount of consumption:

petroleum, coal, or nuclear and

hydroelectricity?

4 Which consumption ranked the

second?

5 Which made up the smallest

amount of consumption?

Before writing

Fill in the gaps with the information from the

chart

The chart shows the energy consumption

in Highland in 2000 As can be seen, the solar energy consumption was (1) _ million tons Petroleum made up the largest amount of this figure (57 million tons) This was followed by the consumption of (2) _ (40 million tons) Nuclear and hydroelectricity made up the (3) _ amount of energy consumption (20 million tons).

Task 2: Continue your description of the trends in energy consumption in

2005 from the chart:

The chart shows the energy consumption in Highland in 2005 As can be seen, the total energy consumption was _ million tons Nuclear and hydroelectricity made up the largest amount of this figure (75 million tons) This was followed by the consumption of (50 million tons) Coal made up the _ amount of energy consumption (45 million tons).

Before writing

170

petroleum smallest

Work in pairs to answer the following questions 1.Was the total energy consumption in

2005 higher or lower than it was in 2000?

- The total consumption in 2005 was higher than it was in 2000.

2 How many tons was Nuclear and

hydroelectricity consumed in 2005? Was it lower or higher than it was in 2000?

- 75 tons nuclear and

hydroelectricity was consumed in

2005 It was higher than it was in

2000.

3 Was the consumption of coal in

2005 lower or higher than it was in 2000?

-The consumption of coal in 2005

was lower than it was in 2000.

4 Was petroleum consumption in

2005 lower or higher than it was in 2000?

- Petroleum consumption in 2005 was lower than it was in 2000.

-The total consumption in 2005 was

higher than it was in 2000.

- 75 tons nuclear and hydroelectricity

was consumed in 2005 It was higher than it was in 2000.

- The consumption of coal in 2005 was lower than it was in 2000.

- Petroleum consumption in 2005 was lower than it was in 2000.

Work in groups to write a paragraph

to describe the energy

consumption in Highland in 2000

and in 2005

After writing

The chart shows the energy consumption in Highland in 2000 and

2005 As can be seen, the total energy consumption in 2005 was 170 million tons

So it was higher than it was in 2000 (117 million tons) In 2005, nuclear and hydroelectricity made up the largest amount of this figure (75 million tons) This was followed by the consumption of petroleum (50 million tons) Both of them were higher than they were in 2000 However, coal decreased the amount of the energy consumption (from 57 million tons in 2000 to 50 million tons)
