Look at the chart below. In 40 seconds, describe in detail what the chart shows, including the main trend and the highest and lowest values.

Model answer

The bar chart compares monthly online sales across four product categories in 2025. Electronics recorded the highest figure at roughly forty per cent of total sales, while books accounted for the lowest, at just under ten per cent. Clothing and home goods sat in between, at around thirty and twenty per cent respectively. The clearest trend is that electronics dominated throughout the year, and the gap between electronics and books widened in the final quarter. Overall, the chart suggests that higher-value categories drove the majority of online revenue.

You will hear a short lecture about renewable energy. After listening, re-tell the lecture in your own words in 40 seconds.

Model answer

The lecturer discussed the shift towards renewable energy, focusing on solar and wind. The main point was that costs have fallen sharply over the past decade, making renewables competitive with fossil fuels in many markets. The speaker noted two remaining obstacles: storage, because output varies with weather, and grid infrastructure, which was built for centralised power plants. The lecture concluded that the technology is no longer the bottleneck — investment in storage and transmission is.
