SAMPLE ANSWER
There are 2 tables given that show the number of international students studying in Canada and USA in the years 2002 and 2003 and the percentage of change in the number of students in the two years.
Looking at the total number of students in 2002 and 2003, it is evident that it has increased in 2003 except for the number of Indian students in the USA. Even though the percentage change in Canada is higher, the total number of foreign students is more in the USA.
There is a 45% increase in the number of Chinese students in Canada from 5400 in 2002 to 7850 in 2003. But in the USA the change is only 6% in the number of Chinese students. The highest number of international students in the USA are from India but faced a decrease of 9% in the numbers in 2003. Meanwhile there was an increase of 35% in the number of Indian students studying in Canada from 2100 in 2002 to 2835 in 2003.
The increase of Canadian students in the USA and the increase of USA students in Canada are comparable. The increase is 7% and 9% respectively. Canada saw a 17% increase in the number of international students while the USA only witnessed a growth of 2%.
