This section provides guidance on answering Question 2, which requires comparing content from two sources on English Language Paper 2.
Key points:
- Always refer to both sources
- Compare differences or similarities between sources
- Focus on content, not language techniques
- Use the PEED formula: Point, Evidence, Explain, Develop
- Write two paragraphs using comparison connectives
Definition: PEED formula - Point (make a point about Source A), Evidence (quote to support), Explain (make an inference), Develop (give context for comparison)
Highlight: Use comparison connectives like "Similarly" or "However" to link ideas between sources.
Question 2 Example Response

The response compares the effects of extreme weather in Source A (Mount Everest) and Source B (London):
- Source A: Sudden storm traps climbers, leading to fatalities
- Source B: Cold weather causes minor inconveniences in city life
Example: "Source A shows the effect that a sudden storm can have on the people on Mount Everest, for example, thirty climbers became trapped in the 'Death Zone', fighting for their lives."
Highlight: The response uses comparison connectives and follows the PEED structure to effectively contrast the two sources.
Comparative Language and Sentence Starters

Comparison connectives:
- For similarities: Similarly, Equally, Likewise, As with, Like

Key points:
- Focuses on language element of AO2
- Similar to Question 2 on Paper 1, but requires more detailed analysis
- Analyze words, phrases, and language features/techniques
- May focus on specific lines in the source
Highlight: Question 3 requires a more in-depth analysis of language compared to Question 2 on Paper 1.

Key tips include:
- Read the question carefully and highlight key words
- Box the relevant lines in the source text
- Read statements carefully to avoid mistakes
- Check statements against the source chronologically
- Mark statements as true/false before shading answer boxes
Highlight: Use crosses and ticks next to statements before shading answer boxes to avoid mistakes.
