reef.there were fish in different colors, caves and layers of corals(珊瑚)they made such an impression on me.when i learned that only 1 percent of australias coral sea was protected, i was shocked.australian marine(海洋的) life is particularly important because the reefs(礁) have more marine species than any other country on the earth.but sadly, only 45% of the worlds reefs are considered healthy.this statistic is depressing, so its important for us to do everything to protect them.the hope that the coral sea remains a complete ecosystem has led me to take action.ive become involved

manners. thats what i, as an english, thought, until i married alexander, who is russian. when i first met alexander, he said to me in russian, “nalei mnye chaipour me some tea.” i got angry and answered, “pour it yourself.” translated into english, without a “could you？”and a “please”， it sounded really rude to me. but in russian it was fineyou dont have to add any polite words.however, when i took alexander home to meet my parents in the uk, i had to give him an intensive course in pleases and thank yous(which he thought were completely unnecessary), and to teach him to say sorry if someone else stepped on his toes, and to smile, smile, smile.another thing that alexander just couldnt understand was why people said things like “would you mind passing me the salt, please？” he said, “its only the salt, for goodness sake! what do you say in english if you want a real favor？”he also watched in amazement when, at a dinner party in england, we swallowed some really disgusting food and i said, “mmmmdelicious.” in russia, people are much more direct. the first time alexanders mother came to our house for dinner in moscow, she told me that my soup needed more flavoring. afterward, when we argued about it, my husband said, “do you prefer your dinner guests to lie？”alexander complained that in england he felt like “the village idiot” because in russia if you smile all the time people think you are mad. in fact, this is exactly what my husbands friends thought of me the first time i went to russia because i smiled at everyone, and translated every “please” and “thank you” from english to russian!at home we now have an agreement. if were speaking russian, he can say “pour me some tea”， and just make a noise like a grunt when i give it to him. but when were speaking english, he has to add a “please”， a “thank you”， and a smile.语篇导读本文为记叙文。由于不同国家文化的差异，礼仪也有所不同。由于作者和她的丈夫是一对异国夫妇，他们便不得不面对这些差异，最终两人相互妥协。28why was the author worried when she took alexander to visit her
