Exploring The Coral Reef
English
I am at the sea. The water is shallow and clear. There is a coral reef near the shore. It is fascinating. I have new snorkel gear. Can I swim here? Yes, you can. The marine life is diverse. There are fish and turtles. They swim slowly through the coral. Do not touch the turtles. It is disturbing. Why? Because they should live freely. My friend is working. She never snorkels. He breathes through his snorkel. Is your gear comfortable? Yes, it is. We can see many fish. Their colors are visible. Swim slowly here. The reef is beautiful. Do not avoid the coral. It is fragile. Enjoy the sea today!
Protect the beautiful reef
English
We are at the reef. The water is warm. I have a thick wetsuit. It keeps me comfortable. My friend brings a camera. She takes photos underwater. "Do you have sunscreen?" I ask. "Yes, but is it reef-safe?" she says. "Why?" "Some sunscreen harms coral," I say. "Protect the reef!" We take photos of fish. "Don't touch the coral!" I say. "Does touching harm it?" she asks. "Yes! Never touch coral." Their camera isn't waterproof. "Take care of your camera," I say. "Can we take more photos?" she asks. "Well, the sun isn't bright enough." We feel happy. The reef is beautiful.
