II. Essay on Retelling an experience that enriches your soul

1. Retelling an experience that enriches your soul, sample 1 (Standard)

I often hear my friends talk about very special experiences like mountain climbing, ocean exploration, etc. As for me, my experiences, though very ordinary, have profound meanings, enriching my soul. One of them is the experience of going to the Tet market with my mother.

As the end of the year approached, every household was bustling with Tet preparations. That day marked my first time going to the Tet market with my mother. This year, my family went back to our hometown to celebrate Tet with our grandparents, so I had the chance to visit the traditional markets there. Since the previous evening, I had been very excited because I didn't know what the rural market would be like. Upon arrival, my mother parked the bike and took me into the market. The rural market, although not as large, spacious, and luxurious as others, was extremely crowded, lively, with sellers and buyers, all cheerful. Many of my peers went to the market with their parents, but they seemed very familiar with it, while I followed my mother hesitantly.

The first time I went to the market, I realized that it was not as simple as I had always thought. There are many things to consider when going to the market, such as finding the right place to buy what you need, buying at the right price, and choosing the best quality food,... I learned these things by observing my mother choose vegetables, meat, and fish, and how she negotiated the price with the sellers. I was extremely impressed by the sellers' ability to calculate quickly and accurately without needing a calculator. For a student like me, even if I used a calculator, I might not be as fast as them. I understand why there is a saying 'a hundred times seeing is not as good as once doing'. For those who do business, buying and selling has trained them to calculate quickly and accurately. Wow, going to the market during Tet is truly an experience! At the end of the market trip, my mother's hands were full of bags. I helped her carry them to the bike. On the way home, the two of us chatted happily.

I was very happy to go to the Tet market with my mother. I got to admire the bustling scene of the Tet market and choose my own Tet outfits. I thank my mother for giving me the opportunity to experience life.

As a native of Thai Binh province, it wasn't until I was 10 years old that I had the opportunity to experience harvesting rice with the farmers. Thanks to that experience, my soul was expanded like the vast fields.

My summer vacation in 5th grade was spent in the countryside with my grandparents. My grandparents are honest, simple farmers. Daily life and work are closely linked to the fields. When I came here, my grandparents gave me many interesting experiences. Summer is the harvest season in the countryside. Despite being reminded of the difficulties of working under the sun, feeling tired, and the long distance of the fields, I still wanted to go harvesting with my grandparents. I wore my grandparents' clothes like a true peasant boy. Wearing a conical hat on my head, I walked into the field.

The vast golden rice fields under the sun. The rice ears were heavy, the grains were plump, and the leaves and stems of the rice plant had turned yellow. I cherished each rice ear, each grain because they were the pearls of heaven, the essence of the earth, and the labor of my grandparents. My grandmother and aunt were in charge of cutting the rice, while my grandfather and uncle were in charge of carrying and loading the bundles of rice that had been harvested onto the bank. My job was to watch over the rice on the bank and bring water to everyone. I understood why farming is called 'selling one's face to the land, selling one's back to the sky'. In the vast fields without a single tree, all the farmers were exposed to the scorching sun. Sweat flowed like rain, clothes were soaked from inside to outside, and faces turned red like drunken people. After harvesting, everyone continued to push the rice home, thresh the rice, and then dry the rice. I felt the hardship of making a living for my grandparents and aunt on each bundle of rice. So much effort in caring, plowing, fertilizing, and working tirelessly in the sun and rain.

The experience of harvesting with my grandparents helped me understand more about the hardships of farmers. Every profession deserves respect and honor, and it is thanks to the farmers that we have rice to eat every day.

3. Recounting an Experience that Enriched Your Soul, Sample 3 (Standard)

The first time I rode a bus in a big city was the most special experience I've ever had. I still remember that memorable bus ride.

It was the first time my school organized a field trip to Hanoi city to say goodbye to us, 5th-grade students, preparing to enter secondary school. After stepping foot in the capital city, I was overwhelmed by the crowds, the houses packed together, and the skyscrapers piercing the sky. I was curious about everything around me and wanted to learn about everything. After getting off the coach, we were instructed on how to take the bus to Thủ Lệ Park.

Standing at the bus stop made me very excited. As buses came and went, finally, the bus with the route to Thủ Lệ arrived. After a while, I noticed an elderly man standing, so I immediately offered him my seat. He nodded and praised me, 'You're still young but already know to respect the elderly. Well done!' I felt very happy to have done a good deed. I think standing on the bus also helped me observe the city more. The bus stopped at many points, and people got on and off in large numbers. And now I understand why taking the bus is environmentally friendly because instead of everyone driving their own car or motorcycle, we can reduce a lot of emissions by traveling together on a bus.
