You're free to choose your own articles, but in case you're short of imagination after all the tests you've done this week, here are some suggestions.
Compare two different reviews of the same film. You could take one from the Guardian (Film reviews from Film guardian.co.uk) and one from The Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/filmreviews/ ) for example.
Using newspapers in the same way (since we might expect quite different outlooks from these two publications), you could compare the comments pages of The Guardian and The Telegraph (or any two newspapers really). On the topical issue of British MPs' living expenses, for instance, we have This mother of all expenses cock-ups is the stuff of banana republics by Simon Jenkins in the Guardian, and What Parliament needs now is the spirit of Cromwell in the Telegraph.
Finally, if you want some more David Crystal, you could look at his article on textspeak, along with a debate between Will Self and Lynne Truss .
