A personal experience essay is different from other essays in terms of the level of emotional involvement. You need to write about a personal experience which affects your life deeply. The event may be small, but the feelings involved and the impact it made should be meaningful. You can use the general essay structure of introduction, body and conclusion for the essay, but make sure that your content is both easy and enjoyable to read. Start your essay with a vivid statement particular to your personal experience and then develop the essay with specific explanations and details. This will evoke1 images of your experience in the minds of readers. Use the body of the essay to describe events in time order to tell readers how everything happened. You may also describe events in order of their importance. Thus, the most important experience is outlined first, and then come less important events. Choose an event that has deep influence on you and your life, and make sure that you convey how you feel and are affected by this event in the body part of the essay. By doing so, readers can share the depth of your feelings related to the event. Using words such as "see", "smell", "hear", "feel" and "taste", you can convey your sensory2 experiences that can be linked to the event. You should focus on describing the emotions, feelings and actions that you experienced, and therefore your words can find an echo3 in the hearts of readers.
Notes:
1. evoke
v.唤起 (感情、记忆或形象)

I decided to visit my sponsored1 child, 12-year-old Natacha Etienne. She survived the earthquake in Haiti. After a two-hour drive, I found myself in a beautiful place where Natacha’s family live. When I first saw Natacha, waiting in her best clothes, I felt like giving her a hug, but I didn’t. She had never seen me before. With half of the villagers gathering to look at me, Natacha stood back, silent and shy. When I pulled out photos, hand- written letters and drawings I’d received from Natacha, her shyness disappeared and she began to talk to me. Her parents greeted me with warm hugs and nervous smiles. In their simple house, I gave her coloured pencils, but when we found paper, there was no hard surface to put it on. Her parents thanked me repeatedly for coming. Her father opened some coconuts2, and we drank and talked. I learnt that their only plan was to get all their eight children educated, so they could get the chance to leave Haiti. "You are like another mother for Natacha," they said. "You pay for her education and we are really thankful to you." I take part in the sponsor activity, hoping it could help children like Natacha have a chance to go to school. I will stay in touch with them, and I believe my little contribution will change their lives. Now I realise that writing letters and sending photos are of great importance to Natacha, because they are all small gifts sent with great love.

Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. Jacob Rice’s working partner
B. The contribution of Shoe Giver of Tampa
C. The Tampa children’s need for shoes
D. Jacob Rice’s different summer vacation
E. Jacob Rice’s dream
F. The foundation of Shoe Giver of Tampa
1. The school year started with new pairs of shoes for children, thanks to Jacob Rice and his organisation, Shoe Giver of Tampa. Jacob started supplying shoes to Tampa children four years ago when he was ten years old. He had the ambition1 to change the lives of children who were too poor to buy shoes. "My dream at the age of ten was to make a difference to children’s lives," he said.
2. He called the local Develop Communities Corporation and asked what Tampa children needed. "Shoes" was the answer that came back, so he knew what he needed to do. "I knew I could do it and I wanted to help," he said.
3. He founded his organisation, Shoe Giver of Tampa, but collecting and distributing2 thousands of pairs of shoes requires a lot of effort and cooperation. Luckily, Jacob found a partner, the Shoes4Souls. Elsey, a former shoe industry director, founded Shoes4Souls after the Asian tsunami3 struck in 2004. He worked with his workmates in the shoe industry to send more than 25,000 pairs of shoes to South-east Asia. When Elsey heard about Jacob, he decided to cooperate with the child by supplying him with a large number of shoes.
4. During the last four years, the number of pairs of shoes distributed by Shoe Giver of Tampa reached 1,300. Seven hundred of those were sent personally by Jacob to poor children in the Dominican Republic while the rest have found their way to children in Florida.
5. Shoes4Souls provided shoes for Jacob’s back-to-school campaign. As other teenagers were having fun on the last days of summer vacation, Jacob spent a different summer vacation measuring 66 pairs of small feet. A week later, 66 children went to school and enjoyed their new shoes as they marched down the hallways toward a new term.
Notes:
