ii. The buyer of a top-of-the-range sports carwould, they conclude, feel cheated if the power-ful engine did not sing like an operatic tenor atmoderate speeds, and bellow like a wild animalwhen the needle neared the red line.

Summary includes 3 content points but not
well organised or linked. Poorly reworded.
Candidate A
Drivers like blinking indicators because they confirm that car is working.
Heavy rock music can cause aggressive driving. Pounding music makes you
want drive forward what may be frustrating in a traffic. Fast music makes
you drive faster and it is more likely that it will make you feel more
aggressive. There is also evidence that loud music played in a car may effect
the part of your brain that is responsible for logical reasoning.

Summary includes only one content point.
Vague with some irrelevance.
Candidate B
There are sounds produced by in-car entertaintment, the effect sound will
make on you, depends on what type of driver you are. Those with plenty of
cash to spare are only bothered by the sound of the engine. On the other
hand, for the average driver sound will affect their judgement and will make
them prone to speeding according to the type of music they play in their cars
and the conditions they drive under

Summary includes 2 content points and is
adequately expressed but is not concise.
Candidate D
A research has been conducted to find out how different types of sound affect
automobile drivers. The first survey aiming to find which engine running sound
pleased drivers most, showed that customer tastes vary according to thetype of car they want. Another poll the aim of which was to discover top ten
driving tunes revealed that the winning tunes were compositions of heavy
rock music. Psychologists consider that listening to this type of music can
increase aggression among drivers.

Summary includes 4 content points but
linking is a little heavy handed.
Candidate C
Sound influences drivers in different ways First of all drivers feel secure when
certain sounds confirm their car is working properly. Secondly, sound can
please drivers because it fits with the cars image. Additionally, fast and
pounding music can lead to aggressive driving, speeding and risk taking. Lastly
loud music can prevent drivers from thinking logically.
