The pie charts illustrates the proportion of British students who speak other languages besides English at one university in year 2000 and 2010. We could figure some apparent differences easily.
First of all, only 10 percent of the students could not speak another language despite of English in 2010, the number is half of the data in 2000, which means more and more people are bilingual in at least one foreign language, that is the biggest change in this decade. There are also some slight increase and decrease, for example, students who choose French as a second language dropped for 5 percent from 15 to 10 while the proportion Spanish speaker went up from 30 percent to 35 percent, there is no doubt that Spanish is still the most popular choice.
In addition, the percentage of students who speak some small language and who master two foreign languages both experienced an increase of 5 percent, that is a good signal. And it is worth noting that, the group who speak German is the only one in these groups whose data remain the same.
To sum up, we can draw the conclusion that British students had been more willing to learn other sorts of languages than before.
