What to do next

Practise AO1 comparison by writing one sentence that states a difference, then one short quotation from each source to prove it; this helps secure Level 4 synthesis.

Key strengths

You compare the sources directly rather than writing about them separately.

You make clear inferences from detail such as ‘sleeping car’ and ‘uncovered carriage’.

To improve

Refine accuracy: the comment 'He literally sounds happy when it crashed too' is unclear and weakens the precision of the comparison.

Keep the inference tightly linked to the evidence; avoid moving into speculative comment that is not securely supported.

Perceptive comparison and synthesis across both sources. The response interleaves the two trains, contrasting Source A’s comfort and luxury with Source B’s basic but fast character, and offers clear inferences about the writers’ attitudes.

Response B , even if you didnt want to spend a long time on it, but Also I think both sounds quite dangerous. In Source A, the train is designed for passengers traveling long distances, because This implies that it is meant to be comfortable for people spending a lot of time on board. However after the crash the writer looks at the train and said ‘she had bullied us’ about the train which makes me infer that it’s not that comfortable to be on and you may feel trapped or pushed about by the train. He literally sounds happy when it crashed too. In contrast, the train in Source B is much more basic. The passengers sit on benches and it’s an ‘uncovered carriage’ which sounds like you are not protected from the rain or wind, or any cold weather. Plus there is no mention of eating or sleeping. This makes me infer that the train was not built to be comfortable. However the writer really likes this train because it says that the train is a ‘wonderful beast’ and that she felt ‘inclined to pat’ which suggests that she feels kind towards it, not like the other train which was a bully, which helps me infer that it was a nice vehicle even if it was a bit basic.
