Step 2: Structure
Analysis
Part I
(Paras.1-3):
On a tour of France, I saw
the Mediterranean Sea, but the rip currents scared
me. And it reminded me that I developed
a fear of water due to the experience
of last summer and
since
then, the fear wouldn’t
recede.
Part
II
(Paras.4-17):
When
I
saw
a
boy
drowning
amid
the
waves,
I
was
in
a
mental
and
emotional
struggle
whether
I
should
save
him
because
I
was
extremely
terrified of water. After my fierce
struggle, I made the single big decision: to
throw
myself
into
the
water.
I
finally
reached
the
boy
and
had
him
under
control;
but
when
I
swam
back
toward
shore,
the
rip
current
was
forcibly
dragging us out to
sea. I tried to remember how to escape from a rip
current,
and with that, I slowly made
my way to safety, thus conquering my inner fear
of water as well.
Part III (Paras 18-19): I was relaxed
and happy in a moment of triumph and salvation.

__________________________________________
Audrey Hepburn-A true angel in this
world
Background information
1
Audrey Hepburn
Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) was a
slender, stylish motion picture actress known for
her
radiant
beauty,
her
ability
to
project
an
air
of
sophistication
tempered
by
a
charming innocence, and her tireless
efforts to aid needy children.
Although
born
in
Belgium,
Hepburn
had
British
citizenship
through
her
father
and
attended school in England as a child.
In 1939, however, at the onset of World War II,
her mother(He
pburn’s father
left the family when she was six years old) moved
the
child to the Netherlands (where the
author of this text mistakenly considered Hepburn
was born), thinking the neutral country
safer than England. Throughout World War II,
Hepburn endured hardships in Nazi-
occupied Holland. She still managed, however, to
attend school and take ballet lessons.
After the war, she continued to study ballet in
Amsterdam and in London. During her
early 20s, she studied acting and worked as a
model and dancer. After appearing in
several
British
films and starring in
the
1951
Broadway
play
Gigi
(
《琪琪》
),
Hepburn
gained
instant
Hollywood
stardom
for
playing the Academy Award-winning lead
role in Roman Holiday. She remains one of
few entertainers who have won Academy,
Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Awards.
Hepburn’s
war
-time
struggles
inspired
her
passion
for
humanitarian
work.
She
devoted much of her
later life to UNICEF, visiting famine-stricken
villages, in Latin
America, Africa,
until shortly before her death of cancer in
1993. She was awarded
the
Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of
her work as a UNICEF Goodwill
Ambassador in 1992.
2
UNICEF
UNICEF (United
Nations International
Children
’
s Emergency Fund)
was created by
the United Nations
General Assembly on December 11, 1946, to provide
emergency
food and healthcare to
children in countries that had been devastated by
World War II.
After 1950 the fund
directed its efforts toward general programs for
the improvement
of
children
’
s
welfare,
particularly
in
less-developed
countries
and
in
various
emergency
situations. The
organization
’
s broader
mission was reflected in the name it
adopted
in
1953,
the
United
Nations
Children
’
s
Fund,
but
it
has
continued
to
be
known by the popular
acronym based on this old name. Headquartered in
New York
City,
UNICEF
provides
long-term
humanitarian
and
developmental
assistance
to
children
and
mothers
in
developing
countries.
UNICEF
’
s
programs
emphasize
developing
community-level
services
to
promote
the
health
and
well-
being
of
children.

UNICEF
Ambassador of Goodwill
Many
celebrities
have
acted
as
international,
regional
or
national
ambassadors,
depending on
their profile, interests, and desired level
of
responsibility.
The role of
Goodwill
Ambassador
allows
celebrities
with
a
demonstrated
interest
in
UNICEF
issues to use their
fame to draw attention to important issues. This
may take the form
of public appearances
and talks, visits to troubled regions, and use of
their political
access
to
advocate
UNICEF
causes,
all
of
which
have
the
power
to
draw
attention
from the media and
to create public awareness.

Gregory Peck
Gregory Peck (1916-2003) was one of the
world
’
s most popular film
stars from the
1940s to the 1960s. He
is best known for his performance in the 1962
film
To Kill a
Mockingbird
, which earned
him the Academy Award for Best Actor.
In
1967
Peck
received
the
Academy
’
s
Jean
Hersholt
Humanitarian
Award.
He
was
also in
1969 for his lifetime humanitarian effort. Always
politically progressive, Peck
was
active in such causes as anti-war protests,
workers
’
rights and civil
rights.
5
Billy
Wilder
Billy
Wilder
(1906-2002)
was
an
Austrian-
born
American
filmmaker,
screenwriter,
producer
artist, and journalist. His career spanned more
than 50 years and 60 films.
He is
regarded as one of the most brilliant and
versatile filmmakers of
Hollywood
’
s
golden
age.
During
his
career,
Wilder
gained
20
Academy
Award
nominations
and
won six Oscars. He
