In Source A the horse is aggressive and clearly distressed. “The front legs raised high off the ground
and the animal let out the most furious of cries”. This suggests that the horse is scared and is behaving
in an erratic way. It could also suggest that the animal is either angry or in survival mode as it
screeches out ‘furious(ly)’. In Source B, however, the horse is much calmer. “It nuzzled at my arm and
closed its eyes peacefully”. This suggests that this horse, instead, feels safe and secure. It could even
suggest that, unlike the distress felt by the horse in Source A, this horse and happy and likes the
people who it is surrounded by as it behaves in a far more relaxed manner.

Later in Source A, the horse is dangerous and destructive. “It smashed through the fields destroying
everything in its path” suggests that the animal has remained distressed and has started damaging its
environment. Not only does this imply that the horse is dangerous but also unpredictable and could
convey a sense of risk to others. In Source B, however, the horse remains calm and “chewed happily at
its hay-net”. This suggests that the animal is well-fed and looked after (the opposite of the impression
we get from Source A), and also that it is calm and secure in its environment.

I walked into the dog hotel: an oasis of calm and luxury. The whole place was On Tuesday, 2nd March, my colleagues and I entered the
steeped in glamour – from diamond-encrusted dog-beds to high-end art residence that we had been called to, to be greeted with an
adorning the walls. incredibly sorry sight.

Each dog had their own room for bed time, and the day room was a fun-fest
of toys, treats, and snuggles. Dogs snoozed lazily, their snores intercepting
the Classical music that played from a speaker at the back of the room.
Outside, however, was a different story. Puppies with gleaming coats chased
each other across the grass, yapping playfully with their tails wagging. They
nipped each other’s ears and bounced from one end of the garden to the
other, sharing their toys and rolling in the grass. Now and then, a staff
member would ask a dog to “Sit” or “Leave” and the dogs would obediently
comply as they eagerly awaited a treat.
Two dogs appeared in the doorway, cautiously cowering
against the damp walls, heads lowered and tails firmly
pressed between their frail legs. They cried and whimpered
loudly, struggling to hold the weight of their feeble bodies.
As we approached one of the dogs, it bared its teeth and let
out a quiet but menacing growl. The other simply avoided
us altogether, and continued to press itself most forcefully
against the wall which seemed to be the only thing holding
it upright.

The dogs at the dog hotel (SOURCE A) and the inspected premises (SOURCE B) behave very differently.
Use details from both sources to write a summary of the differences in the behaviour of the dogs at the two premises. [8 marks]

SOURCE A: The following extract is taken from a diary
entry by a young sailor on the day she set sail on a ten
month trip at sea.
As we left shore, I felt a surge of excitement pulse through
my veins. Finally, all of the hard work had paid off. And
here we were, ready to take on the challenge of a lifetime!
SOURCE B: The following letter was written by a 12 year old girl to her mother
describing her first ever experience at sea during a school trip.
Dear Mama,
Today was the most terrifying of days! We left the cabin bright and early and
were excited to embark on our first ever experience at sea.

An hour passed, and the sea remained calm and steady. No sooner had we boarded the ferry, grey storm clouds gathered overhead and
The ocean waves caressed the side of the ship that would a wrap of thunder greeted our entrance. The school master instructed us to

The soft waves remained like silk for the remainder of that
first day, as we glided our way into the horizon ready for
the trials and tribulations that the next two weeks would
bring.
An hour passed, and there was no give in the terrible conditions. Not only was
the ocean wild with fury, but the wind howled like a pack of wolves, its dreadful
whistle shaking the roof which felt like it would come off at any given moment.
With all this, the ocean grew wilder still, and the boat rocked with such rage
that I thought I would fall over if I dared to move.
