SAMPLE ANSWER
The charts illustrate how many students studied English in Vietnam between 2015 and 2018, and the reasons why they decided to learn English.
It is clear that the number of students studying English in Vietnam rose over the research period, except for those aged 35 years and over. Additionally, studying abroad was the main reason for studying English.
In 2015, about 8,000 students aged 17-24 studied English, compared to under 5,000 students in the other age groups. Well over half of all students studied English for overseas education, while the figures for other purposes were significantly lower, at around 20% each.
In 2018, the number of students aged 17-24 studying English soared to over 40,000, whereas students aged 13-16 and 25-34 witnessed slight increases, to nearly 8,000 and 6,000 respectively. The figure for the other age group was relatively stable throughout the period, at around 4,000. The percentage of students studying English in order to study abroad and immigrate fell to 43% and 19% respectively, whereas those studying for work opportunities rose to 25%. Less than 10% of students studied English to obtain scholarships and to graduate.
