The graph below shows information about the languages that 13-year-old students in one school chose to study.
The graph shows how many 13-year-old students studied French and Mandarin between 2000 and the present day in a school in England.
Overall, it can be seen that more students have been choosing to study Mandarin, but French is still the most popular language option.
According to the data, Mandarin has increased in popularity during this time. On the other hand, the trend for French is the opposite. In 2000, the number of students who took French was 150, compared to just under 10 students who chose Mandarin. So there was a significant difference in numbers at this time. Over the next five years, the figure fell considerably for French, but rose dramatically for Mandarin and reached a peak at 75 students.
Since 2005, the trends have not changed as much. French gained some popularity in 2006, but has remained fairly stable since then at about 90 students. In contrast, the number of students taking Mandarin dipped in 2006 and then fluctuated, before it returned to 75.
