IELTSTutor notes

This is not a bad answer, displaying good control of a variety of grammatical structures.
While vocabulary is occasionally repeated, the range of vocabulary is suitable for the task.
The answer could be better organized however, as information is repeated and there arent many
comparisons made between the summer and winter figures. The pie chart is mentioned only briefly
and not linked to the data in the graph.
To improve this answer I would recommend that more time is spent comparing the differences in
the trends of data between summer and winter electricity use.
