Correct a weak response to this AQA English Language objective: Synthesis information from both sources without retelling each source separately.

Synthesis information from both sources response: A weak response usually summarises, guesses, or names a method without effect. Improve it by choosing evidence, explaining the effect, and linking the point to audience, purpose or writer purpose method. For Summarising differences and similarities, keep one clear focus, select brief evidence or a planned example, explain the method or writing choice, and link the point to effect, audience, purpose, form or tone where relevant.

This is effective because it makes the mistake correction, evidence, explanation and assessment objective visible. Replace summary with a precise point, brief evidence, method, effect and writer purpose so the correction is exam-ready. Section A Reading non-fiction and literary non-fiction should compare both sources by naming similar and different ideas rather than treating them separately. Summarising differences and similarities should plan audience, purpose, form, tone, viewpoint, content and structure before drafting.
