The chart below show the percentage of British students at one university in England who were able to speak other language in addition to english, in 2000 and 2010.
The pie chart given compares the number of bilingual and multilingual British university
students
living in England across the two different years of 2000 and 2010.
Overall
, if we take the six categories
in combination, it is evident that the highest percentage occurred among students
who spoke only Spanish in addition
to English
, while
other categories
only ranged from 10% to 20%.
The proportion of students
who only spoke Spanish besides
English
was the highest in both years, making up roughly one-third of the total, with 30% in 2000 and 35% in 2010. In contrast
, during 2000, the lowest rates were for German-speaking students
only and students
who spoke two other languages, where the percentages were similar to 10%. In 2010, these two categories
still remained the lowest; however
, this
year, this
10% was also
shared by students
who solely used English
and those who spoke French along with
English
. This
was considered a decrease since these categories
were at 20% and 15% in the previous year.
This
leaves the last
category, students
who spoke another language aside from those mentioned in the diagram, with 15% in 2000 and a 5% elevation in 2010, equivalent to 20% in the second year.Submitted by minhlieu.hnd on
