【正文】 er to reserve your space on the tour. I39。m a vegetarian and never eat meat.(2) All right. I39。s any food you can39。ll bring my own.Excellent. Now, we provide all the meals. So we need to know if you have any diet (dietary)restrictions.I don39。s Karla with K, not C, KARLA.Thank you, Miss Schmidt. Address?Do you need a street address? Or can I give you my post office box?The post office box is fine.It39。s a system of coral reef that stretches along the east coast of Australia, covering an areaof around 300,000 square kilometers.The Great Barrier Reef is posed of approximately 3000 individual reefs which range insize from one hectare to more than 10,000 hectareseach.In addition, around 600 islands are scattered throughout the area, particularly at the northern and southern ends.The reefs themselves are posed of over 400 different kinds of coral, the largest variety of coral found anywhere in the world.(2) Now, listen carefully and answer questions 3440.Thousands of species of sea animals live in and around the reefs.All together, approximately 1500 species of fish inhabit the reef area, including a number ofdifferent kinds of sharks.One of the more interesting mollusks to be found in the reefs is the giant clam.These huge shelf fish can live for more than a hundred years and can weigh as much as 200 kilos.Sea mammals are bound in the area, which serves as a breeding ground for certain types of whales, many of which are endangered.Over two hundred species of sea and shore birds fees, roost on nest among the reefs and islands.Many types of reptiles can also be found living around and near the reefs.Salt water crocodiles, for example, inhabit the marshes along coast or the area.Amphibians include at least 7 species of fogs inhabit in the islands and reefs.Unfortunately, this wondrous area of the world is threatened by climate change.Rising sea temperatures have led to an effect called coral bleaching, that is large numbers of corals dying off, especially in the shallower area of the reef.The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority is attempting to find effective ways to deal with this issue that threatens the reef.One proposed solution involves shading the reef in certain areas to help keep thesurrounding water temperatures down.That is the end of section 4. You now have half a minute to check your answers.test 2Section 1(1) Global bicycle tours. May I help you?Yes, thank you. I39。ll hear a lecture about Great Barrier Reef. Firstyou have some time to look at the questions 3133. Now listen carefully and answer questions 3133.Despite of its name, the Great Barrier Reef isn39。s better just to speak quietly while you have the bird in the car.Okay, we39。re driving the bird to the Rescue Center, it39。s an important point. Okay, next, let39。s all alone orthey find a bird sitting on the ground and they think it needs to be rescued.And usually, those are just baby birds learning to fly.So we should emphasize that people should only attempt to rescue a bird that39。t you think? But we have lots of photos of rehabilitated can show those.(2) Now, listen and answer questions 2630.Right. Okay, I think we should start by talking about how to rescue a bird.Probably first we should help people understand which birds need rescuing.Yeah, that39。ve looked at lots of sources and information, but I think our best source was the interviews we did with the wildlife rehabilitators.Agreed. That and the journal articles. I think we have enough information from those two sources for the presentation.Anyhow, the books we looked at weren39。t think so. They are rarely relevant, but we do have to turn in a list of resources we used.Actually, what about videos? I heard some of the other students were doing that.Well, I guess that must be optional, because I don39。s see. We have to give the professor a written summary for the information we39。s something for every member of family there.There is.
