Model answer: many other combinations are possible.

The chart shows 11 reasons why first year students from overseas chose a particular university. The survey of 1,000 first year overseas students was carried out at universities in the UK. The various factors can be divided into two groups, namely those related to teaching and non-teaching related.

The top three reasons are Language of tuition, Quality of teachers, Up-to-date teaching facilities, at 95%, 90% and 90% respectively. While around 95 percent of the students gave the language of tuition as the main reason for choosing a university, only 30 percent selected modern teaching methods. Good language support at 20% is the factor which influences students least when making a choice about which university to attend.

Eighty percent of the sample mentioned the cost of accommodation as a reason for choosing a university as opposed to 75 percent for the cost of tuition.
