		<description>I believe I was fourteen years old when the following dramatic episode happened. I had a cat and she gave birth to four kittens. At that time&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #00ffff&quot;&gt;punctuation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffa500&quot;&gt;comma usage&lt;/span&gt; no one neutered pets in Russia, so &lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffa500&quot;&gt;paraphrase&lt;/span&gt; was quite normal to have your cat pregnant from time to time and get rid of the kittens right after their birth. Usually&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #00ffff&quot;&gt;punctuation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffa500&quot;&gt;comma usage&lt;/span&gt; men in the family were in charge of this secret elimination. But this time my father was traveling and my mother and me decided that we were going to keep the kittens. Unfortunately&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #00ffff&quot;&gt;punctuation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffa500&quot;&gt;comma usage&lt;/span&gt; my cat left her babies right after she gave birth to them&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;period usage&lt;/span&gt; she didn&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffa500&quot;&gt;avoid contractions&lt;/span&gt;t have milk to feed them.

I was trying to feed them but the only milk I could find was conserved milk &lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;which they could not digest&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffa500&quot;&gt;utilize commas for relative clauses&lt;/span&gt; because we were living in Siberia &lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;with average temperature 25 degrees Celsius below zero&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #00ff00&quot;&gt;two ways to fix this error&lt;/span&gt; during &lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;&lt;del datetime=&quot;2010-06-16T20:00:56+00:00&quot;&gt;a&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/span&gt; winter, the time when this incident took place.  My kittens were so tiny and defenseless &lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffa500&quot;&gt;relative pronoun&lt;/span&gt; they were crying from hunger.

The whole situation was like a nightmare: they were slowly dying.

		<description>I used to cry&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;ing&lt;/span&gt; when I talked about my saddest moment but it happened &lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;on&lt;/span&gt; the past so I don&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;’&lt;/span&gt;t have to cry&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;ing&lt;/span&gt; anymore. Well, when I was a child my parents were planning to get divorced &lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;&lt;del datetime=&quot;2010-05-25T05:21:26+00:00&quot;&gt;you know the reasons&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/span&gt; because my father cheated &lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;to&lt;/span&gt; my mom. My parents didn&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;’&lt;/span&gt;t live together&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; sometimes m&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;i&lt;/span&gt; father went to visit us, but he didn&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;’&lt;/span&gt;t visit us frequently.

I remember it was my sister&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;’&lt;/span&gt;s birthday and my father went to the party, which my mother organized &lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;to&lt;/span&gt; her. We were having a good time but suddenly the lover of my father arrived to the house. And all my uncles started to scream and they told her&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; g&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;o&lt;/span&gt;t out of my house. My sister started to cry and my mother g&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;ets&lt;/span&gt; very angry&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; I was w&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;hit&lt;/span&gt; my uncle and I w&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;ere&lt;/span&gt; crying too. I can&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;´&lt;/span&gt;t forget that moment&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000; background-color: #ffff00&quot;&gt;&lt;del datetime=&quot;2010-05-25T05:21:26+00:00&quot;&gt;,&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and I remember what she was wearing.</description>
