Page 1: Comparing Sources in Question 2

This page focuses on answering Question 2 of English Language Paper 2 Section A, which requires a summary of the differences in the purpose of two texts.

The guidance emphasizes the importance of comparing and contrasting the sources effectively. It highlights that while both sources may have similarities, such as discussing survival on a sinking ship, they often have different approaches and purposes.

Key points for comparison include:

  • Source A is typically an instructional article using direct address and rhetorical questions
  • Source B is often a first-hand account or eyewitness report
  • Both sources may share a common theme but differ in perspective and tone

Example: Source A might use phrases like "The following article will outline the steps you should take," while Source B could describe personal experiences with vivid details.

Highlight: It's crucial to identify both similarities and differences between the sources to achieve a balanced comparison.

The page also stresses the importance of using specific quotations from both texts to support the comparison and analysis.
