Summarising two texts, evaluating, and building a controlled argument (240–280 words)
1.Text A argues museums should repatriate contested artefacts; Text B argues universal museums serve a global public. Write ONE sentence that summarises both key points without copying either.
Use a contrastive structure and evaluative nouns (claim, premise, priority).
2.Write an evaluative sentence that concedes then counters: begin 'While the argument in Text B has obvious force…'
Concession + counter in one sentence; avoid 'but' as your only pivot.
3.Draft your four-part plan (intro / point 1 / point 2 / conclusion) in note form for the task above.
Notes only. Each body point needs one claim plus one qualifier.
4.Rewrite this flat sentence at C2: 'Many people think museums are important and should keep the objects.'
Nominalisation, hedging and precision.
