モデル解答（Band 7.5〜8.0相当）
The bar chart illustrates the average daily energy consumption in kilowatt-hours across five sectors — residential, transport, industry, commerce, and agriculture — in Japan, Germany, and Australia in 2023.
Overall, the industrial and transport sectors recorded the highest energy usage across all three countries, while agriculture consistently showed the lowest figures. Notably, Japan led in industrial consumption, whereas Australia dominated the transport sector.
Regarding industry, Japan recorded the highest daily usage at 22.3 kWh, closely followed by Germany at 19.8 kWh. Australia, in contrast, consumed comparatively less at 16.5 kWh. The transport sector presented a contrasting picture: Australia recorded by far the highest consumption at 18.7 kWh, whilst Japan and Germany consumed 15.6 kWh and 11.3 kWh respectively.
In the remaining sectors, residential consumption was highest in Australia at 12.4 kWh, compared to Germany's 9.1 kWh and Japan's 8.2 kWh. Commerce figures were broadly similar across the three nations, ranging from 6.4 kWh in Japan to 9.0 kWh in Australia. Agriculture accounted for the lowest consumption in all countries, with figures of 3.1, 4.5, and 5.8 kWh in Japan, Germany, and Australia respectively.
