Journalist: Hi, I’m a journalist from The New York Times, my name is Anthony. Before I start this interview, I would like you to know that if any questions make you uncomfortable you don’t have to answer them.
Student: okay.
Journalist: So, how did it all begin?
Student: It was Wednesday, and school started like any other day, until the last period during which I was in the library with a few other students. We heard a gunshot in the corridor. We panicked immediately until we regained our teacher and hid under the desk.
We waited for a long 30 minutes before we heard another gunshot, then another, that’s when we realized that the shooter was coming nearer to the library.
Journalist: My god! What next?
Student: We decided to run to the back of the library where it was very dark, we figured he wouldn’t find us there.
Journalist: Smart move! What happened after?
Student: We crawled to the back and felt relatively safe for a while. The window was open and the sun was setting! We had been in school for nearly four hours!
Journalist: Wow.
Student: Only after it got dark the police burst into the library and helped us all to safety.
Journalist: Hopefully there were no casualties, but a teacher was injured.
Student: Yes.
Journalist: Thank you very much.
Student: You’re welcome. Please make it a good article, it could’ve been worse; we need security in our schools.
This isn’t much but I hope it helps! <3 good luck on your assignment!!
Answer:
Primary elections or often just primaries, are the process by which voters can indicate their preference for their party's candidate, or a candidate in general, in an upcoming general election, local election, or by-election. Depending on the country and administrative divisions within the country, voters might consist of the general public in what is called an open primary, or solely the members of a political party in what is called a closed primary. In addition to these, there are other variants on primaries (which are discussed below) that are used by many countries holding elections throughout the world.
The origins of primary elections can be traced to the progressive movement in the United States, which aimed to take the power of candidate nomination from party leaders to the people.[1] However, political parties control the method of nomination of candidates for office in the name of the party, and other methods of selecting candidates include caucuses, conventions, and nomination meetings.
