Task 1
Read the two newspaper articles, each of which adopts a different writing style.

Article 2: The human tide moving this way: Fury and fighting as rail station is closed to migrants (Appendix 2)
Compare and contrast the two writing styles and write an essay that explains which is nearer to the style of writing that is found in academic literature.
