Hi guys,

today we worked on analysing the structure of a newspaper article.

Here are the elements of the context:

We also commented on the content.
Here is what we said:

The document is a newspaper article. It tells about the life of Robin Williams, an actor. It presents his career. Robin Williams had problems with alcohol. Maybe he committed suicide. At the end, there is his wife's testimony. She was heartbroken and devastated. We don't know why he committed suicide. Maybe he suffered from a big depression ( = he was utterly depressed).
