The line graph represents the number of enquiries made
to a University Admissions Office from January to June 2021.
It is clear from the graph that
 
the enquiries made in
person and by telephone increased during this time, while the
number of enquiries made by email decreased.
According to what is shown in the graph, in-person
enquiries rose sharply from around 400 to 1900, while
enquiries made by telephone showed a more gradual increase.
Initially, telephone enquiries declined slightly from 900 to 800
enquiries, before increasing to 1000 in the third month. The
ratio remained at this level for the month of April and then
increased substantially in May and June to reach 1600
enquiries by the end of the period.
In contrast, enquiries by email showed an opposite
trend, steadily declining from around 800 to around 400
enquiries over the 6-month period.
