The charts below show the proportions of British students at one university in England who were able to speak other languages in addition to English, in 2000 and 2010.
The
two
pie graphs illustrate the percentage of British students at one university in England who could speak other languages apart from English in 2000 and 2010.
Looking at the chart, the fraction of pupils who did not speak another language
showed the biggest ratio during the two
years mentioned above. In addition
, the German language
which was spoken represented the smallest number.
It was clear that the number of learners did not tend to speak other languages except English, which accounted for 30% in 2000. Besides
, the Spanish tongue was used by about one-fifth of the total. The rate of students who could chat with French language
and other accents made up 5% less than Spanish. Meanwhile, schoolchildren who could speak German and two
other pronunciations contributed as a minority.
As a comparison, more than one-third per cent of pupils did not speak another verbal language
in 2010. In contrast
, the proportion of scholars who spoke another language
and two
other languages included 20% and 15% respectively. While
the percentage of learners who spoke German, French and Spanish took up the remaining 30%, this
proportion was divided equally by 10%.Submitted by huy3072002 on
