Here is what we said about it:
Warm up:
The document is a news report about shooting in America. The tragic rampage caused by a 43-year-old Corean student happened yesterday on a college campus in Oakland, California.
The students were frightened/scared, screamed and ran for their lives.
The killer was arrested in the morning, at a local supermarket.
Then we continued speaking about the murder case of the dead governor:
Inez's motives:
_She hated the governor because he treated her badly/like a dog. He may have been racist and discriminated Hispanics.
_ She may have fallen in love with the governor, and the latter cheated on her, so she got mad.
