** The pie chart shows the main sources of energy used by a typical household in a European country.
Energy Consumption in a Typical European Household
The pie chart provides a breakdown of the main energy sources used by a typical household in a European country.
Overall, it is apparent that heating and cooling consume the most energy, while lighting and appliances use the least. The three remaining categories, water heating, refrigeration, and electronics, account for a moderate and relatively equal portion of the total energy use.
Heating and cooling constitute the largest segment of energy consumption, making up 42% of the total. Water heating is the second highest, at 30%. Refrigeration, electronics, and lighting represent smaller shares, at 15%, 8%, and 5% respectively. Notably, lighting uses the least amount of energy compared to all other categories.
In summary, a household's energy expenditure is dominated by the need for temperature control, with lighting being a minimal contributor to the overall energy demand.

** The charts below show the reasons why people of different age groups use social media.
Reasons for Using Social Media by Age Group
The two pie charts illustrate the primary motivations for using social media among two distinct age groups: teenagers (13-17) and adults (30+).
A clear contrast can be seen in the reasons for social media use between these two demographics. For teenagers, the main purpose is social connection, whereas for adults, staying updated with news is the most significant driver.
Among teenagers, connecting with friends and family is the dominant reason, accounting for 45% of responses. Following this, entertainment and following celebrities make up 30% and 15% respectively. Only a small fraction, 10%, use social media primarily for news. In contrast, for adults, staying informed about current events is the top priority, constituting 50% of their usage. Connecting with others is also important but less so, at 35%. Entertainment is a much smaller factor, at just 10%, and following celebrities is the least common reason, representing only 5%.
In conclusion, while both age groups utilize social media, their core motivations differ substantially. Teenagers are primarily driven by social interaction and entertainment, whereas adults are more focused on information gathering and news updates.
