Sample answer：

The chart depicts five ways of learning a foreign language in an export company, followed by the analysis of reasons why they decide to acquire a second language. The main features and a detailed comparison will be presented below.

Apparently, a great number of staff chose to take in part-time training after work, which takes up 38%. Meanwhile, 23% of them preferred participating in part-time training in working hours. Comparatively, less of them picked intensive courses with the percentage of 12 only. As for the rest of them, 22% decided to study by themselves and 5% resorted to distance learning. Thus, it could be concluded that language learning methods were various to meet distinctive needs.

In addition, the reasons why they desire to acquire a second language have also been identified. It is evident that near half of them consider holiday travel as their main concerns, followed by business travel which only occupied 18%. Besides, individual interests, like being curious about foreign culture and longing for socializing with local people, are also strong motivations. To be more accurate, 14% of them work for it due to personal interest and 13% for meeting people. However, only 10% of them want to learn for the purpose of communication with oversea clients. So both intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation can be seen from this chart.
