Sample Answer
The table illustrates the percentage of households in a city using different energy sources from 2010 to 2020.
Overall, there is a clear shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources over the decade. In 2010, the majority of households (75%) relied on electricity from fossil fuels, while solar and wind energy accounted for only 5% and 8% respectively. Over time, the use of solar and wind energy increased steadily, reaching 35% each by 2020.
In contrast, the dependence on fossil fuels declined sharply, falling to 25% by 2020. Other renewable sources fluctuated slightly but remained relatively low throughout the period, starting at 12% in 2010 and ending at 5% in 2020.
This data indicates a significant move towards sustainable energy, with solar and wind becoming the main sources of household energy, while fossil fuels are gradually being phased out.
