Ⅳ. Read and complete the tasks.
①I am the Great Barrier Reef, and I am in great pain. I used to be one of the most beautiful places on earth, full of colourful corals(珊瑚) and different kinds of sea life. But now, I am facing many problems.
②The rising temperature from climate change puts my sea life in danger. My corals are bleaching—turning white and losing their bright colours. I try to help them, but it’s hard. They have been in warm water for too long.
③The wastewater and plastic bags bring me trouble, too. The wastewater makes algae(藻类) grow too much, and it keeps out the sunlight that sea life needs for health. Also, the plastic bags hurt the animals like fish, turtles and sea birds. These animals may get tangled(被缠绕) in the bags or eat them by mistake.
④Overfishing is another problem that breaks my heart. I feel sad when I see sea animals getting caught in fishing nets and dying, and when noisy ships come and break the silence of my home. It makes me feel helpless.
⑤Please do your best to stop climate change, littering the ocean, and overfishing. Please protect me and my home, or I will not be great any more.
