Answer:
Since I do not own much, I would like to share <u>myself</u> with the world. I could share my knowledge by teaching someone. If I could go anywhere, I would probably choose a country in Africa - I have a special preference for Angola - where I could volunteer as a teacher. I would prepare the lessons <em>myself</em>, with lots of love and care, to make sure my students would learn happily and efficiently. Maybe in the future they will become teachers<em> themselves</em>, passing forward the knowledge I was able to give them. Some may become doctors, lawyers, economists. If I can help someone achieve his or her dreams, I will be thrilled. There is nothing better than to know you have helped someone in life. Anyone can donate a bit of money, of time, of smiles, of <u>themselves</u>. And that can make a great difference in the world.
Explanation:
In the answer above, indefinite pronouns are in bold, reflexive pronouns are underlined, and intensive pronouns are italicized.
Indefinite pronouns refer to something or someone vaguely, without specifying it. When we say "much", we are not specifying quantity, for example. When we say "anyone", we are referring to people in general, not to someone specific.
Reflexive and intensive pronouns end in -self or -selves. Reflexive pronouns indicate that the subject and the object of the verb are the same. For example: I cut myself. Intensive pronouns emphasize the subject of a sentence: I myself made this pie. or I made this pie myself.
