SAMPLE ANSWER
The graph illustrates how many students of three universities apply in subjects/majors at the US between 1990 and 2010.
Overall, the number of students join in biology and engineering fell significantly, while that in business and social work saw a considerable increase during the period shown.
In details, the number of student applications in engineering started at 4500, being double that in business in 1990; following this, the figure for engineering witnessed a downward trend to around 500, which was lowest in 2010. A similar trend happened to biology which came second in 1990 with 3000, then it halved in 2000 and finished at about 1000 in 2010.
In contrast to biology and engineering, a growing trend was seen in business and social work.
