The document contains two pie charts showing the division of employment in Tanzania and Ireland. It also includes a table with examples of how to describe percentages in words or phrases. The pie charts illustrate the proportion of energy sources in France for 1995 and 2005. In 1995, coal accounted for the largest share at 29.8% while gas and petrol each accounted for around 29%. By 2005, coal remained the top source but increased slightly to 30.93% while gas rose to 30.31% and petrol dropped nearly 10%. Nuclear and other sources both increased noticeably to 10.1% and 9.1% respectively.

figure
The pie charts illustrate the proportion of energy
generated by various sources in France in two distinct
years 1995 and 2005.

Overall, it is evident that the percentage of energy


generated by petrol experienced a significant fall, while
the figures for other power sources underwent a reverse
pattern. Also, coal and gas were recognized as the
primary energy sources in both given years ( the
percentages of energy produced by gas and coal were by
far highest in both years).
In 1995, the energy production by coal occupied the
largest fraction with 29.8% of total in France. The
figures for gas and petrol were slightly lower with
29.63% and 29.27% respectively. Likewise, there was
only 6.4% of total power production went to nuclear and
the lowest portion belonged to “other sources” group,
which is not specified in the chart (5%).
After the following one decade, the proportion of power
produced by coal experienced a minimal rise and still
hold the top position in terms of energy production, at
30.93%. The figure for gas rose to 30.31%, while that of
petrol underwent a remarkable drop of/by nearly 10%.
When it comes to nuclear and “other sources”, the figures
for those sectors witnessed a sharp rise to 10.1% and
9.1% in turn.
