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.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The circular charts compare the proportion of British University scholars who spoke different languages other than English in two years ,2000 and 2010. Data is measured in percentage.
Overall, in the both given years, the maximum number of students in the British university were able to speak at least one other language. An incline can also be seen in the percentage of second and third language users over the decade.
It can be vividly seen that in the year 2000, 80% of the students had the ability to speak one or two foreign languages and only 20% spoke merely English. A decade later, the ratio of learners who spoke a second language rose by 5%. There was also a surge of 5% in the proportion of students who were able to use two foreign languages.
Probing further, in 2000, 30% of the students were able to speak Spanish ,15% knew French and 10 % were well-versed with German. By 2010, the figure of Spanish users soared to 35% but French speakers were comparatively 5% less. However, the proportion of British students who spoke German remained the same as it was in the former given year. At last, it is lucid that the percentage of speakers of languages other than English, apart from Spanish, French and German went up from 15% to 20% over the given period.
