The bar chart compares the main factors that lead people to add or remove friends on a popular social networking site.

Overall, personal connections from everyday life dominate the reasons for making friends online, while negative behaviour is the primary cause of unfriending.

In terms of adding friends, knowing someone in real life is by far the strongest motivator, accounting for just over 80%. Sharing mutual friends comes second, at around 60%. By contrast, professional contacts, physical attractiveness and simply wanting a higher friend count play only minor roles, each influencing fewer than 12% of users.

Turning to the reasons for ending online friendships, offensive comments stand out as the most common trigger, affecting approximately 55% of people. Not knowing the other person well and attempts to sell products or services are also significant, at about 42% and 38% respectively. Depressing posts and a lack of interaction are less decisive, influencing roughly 22% and 15% of unfriend decisions.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting an overview and comparing the main reasons for friending and unfriending. The structure is clear, with a logical progression from overall trends to specific details. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., offensive comments at 55% instead of 40%, not knowing the person well at 42% instead of 60%, and other minor discrepancies). While these do not detract significantly from the overall response, ensuring data accuracy would strengthen the report. Additionally, the report could benefit from a more explicit comparison between the two categories, such as noting that personal connections are more influential for friending, while negative behaviors are more prominent for unfriending. Overall, the response is well-organized and covers the main features, but minor data errors and a slightly stronger comparative analysis would improve it.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is exceptionally well-organized and easy to follow. It begins with a clear introduction, provides an overall summary, and then details the data in separate paragraphs for 'friending' and 'unfriending'. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'In terms of', 'By contrast', and 'Turning to' guides the reader smoothly through the information. Paragraphing is logical and effectively separates the main features. No lapses in coherence or cohesion are evident.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a wide and sophisticated range of vocabulary used with precision and naturalness. Terms like 'dominate', 'motivator', 'trigger', 'decisive', and 'influencing' are used accurately and appropriately. The language is formal and academic, fitting the task requirements. There is a good variety of expressions to describe percentages and comparisons, showing full flexibility and control.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report exhibits a wide range of grammatical structures used with full flexibility and control. Sentences are varied in length and complexity, including the use of participial phrases and subordinate clauses. Punctuation and grammar are correct throughout, and the report flows naturally without any noticeable errors. The grammar checker confirms that there are virtually no issues, and the writing is of a very high standard.
