The graph below shows the number of students from the US, the UK and Australia 
who studied in universities in other countries from 2002 to 2007. Summarise the 
information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons 
where relevant. 
The given line graph depicts the number of American, British and Australian students who 
studied in universities of other nations over a period of five years starting in 2002. It can be 
clearly seen that the maximum number of American students and the least number of 
Australian students studied away from their home country. 
From 2002 to 2007, the number of Australian students who studied abroad was stable at 
around 10,000. The students from the United Kingdom who studied in foreign universities 
were 30,000 in 2002. Their number was the same till 2003, but after that it showed a steady 
decline and reached approximately 22,000 by 2007.
The number of American students who studied in other parts of the world was 50,000 in 
2002. Their number decreased moderately and reached nearly 46,000 by 2004. After that the 
number of American students picked up again and became 50,000 by 2007. 
Overall, it is clear that the number of American students was five times more than the 
number of Australian students studying abroad. The number of American and Australian 
students showed a fairly stable trend whereas the number of students from UK showed a 
downward trend.
