		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;In my second-year French class, I had to keep a journal. I could only say stupid things: &#8216;I got up at six. I ate breakfast. It&#8217;s cold. I&#8217;m tired.&#8217; I was reduced to making these idiotic statements because I didn&#8217;t have the language to explain, &#8216;It&#8217;s cold for September and I  feel sad that summer is over.
