The graph shows the number of international students on a pre-sessional course, at Southfield University, from 2000 to 2008. The horizontal axis presents the years and the vertical axis shows student numbers. The graph indicates that numbers of international students on the course each year have fluctuated. There was a decline in student numbers from 2001-2002, and 2005-2006, but generally, student numbers have increased over the period.

Carefully analyse the table or chart before you start writing. What are the topics and the time frame? What do the numbers and labels represent? Be clear about what you are describing: A number? A percentage? A price? Start by describing the overall situation. DO NOT describe every single detail. Select examples that represent the overall picture. Try not to keep repeating the same language and sentence structures. DO NOT describe the reasons or give your opinions — stick to the facts. Finish with a concluding sentence summarising what we learn from the chart.
