Hi Er,
It's difficult to give advice without any more information. How old are you? Are you in high-school or in college or in between? What kind of internship are you looking for, i.e. in which field?
If you are in high-school or a recent graduate, your teachers are good references. If you are in college, your professors are good references.
As for experience, you can write about what inspired you to be interested in this particular career, maybe a connection to a hobby activity, some school project, some family business that you helped with etc.
I hope this helps! All the best to you!
