Excerpt 1
As I mentioned earlier, this year we’ve seen a considerable increase in our international student memberships. Let’s look at which countries these students are coming from and which clubs and societies they’re choosing to join.
Excerpt 2
This graph shows all the international students currently studying at the university. The vertical axis represents the actual number of students and the horizontal axis refers to their country of origin. As you can see, most international students are coming from four key areas: China, Japan, Nigeria, and India.
Excerpt 3
As the graph shows, the University Travel Club is still the most popular society for international students, particularly for students from China and Nigeria. But I would also draw your attention to two other societies: the Student Debating Group and the Drama Circle. As the data here indicates, the Student Debating Group is a popular choice with Indian students and the Drama Circle attracts lots of members from Japan.
