the bar chart below shows the top ten countries for the production and consumption of electricity in 2014. This essay question is from Cambridge IELTS 13 Test 3 Writing Task 1.

The bar chart illustrates the ten countries which manufactured and used the most of electricity typically in the period of 2014. The unit was represented by billion kilometres per hour. Overall, it can be seen obviously that China and United States were top two countries among other eight countries made use of energy, whereas Korea was the least amount in both production and consumption with opposite figure. Regarding with the highest rank countries, China leaded with first position in the category, which was accounted for 5, 398 b kWh in manufacturing and 5, 322 b kWh in spending. Similarly, US generated and consumed power with 4, 099 b kWh and 3, 866 b kWh respectively, making it the second place over the whole period. By contrast, Korea took over the last row due to its smallest measure with 485. 1 b kWh and 449. 5 b kWh individually in both sectors. However, Brazil and Germany also did not differentiate significantly compared to the Korea with merely a little quantity, which contributed to the final line-up. For the remaining nations, Russia and Japan fabricated 1, 057 b kWh and 936. 2 b kWh as well as used 1, 038 b kWh and 856. 7 b kWh throughout the year, which can be observed the producing and using ranges were not different appreciably. However, for India, Canada and France, it is noticeable that their generating rates were much more than absorbing ones (almost 200 b kWh).
