The Great Barrier Reef is not just one reef but actually a series of over 2,000 reefs stretching for more than 2,300 kilometres. It is the world's largest coral reef.
Since coral reefs are also in shallow water, you can actually see them from above the water! All along the Great Barrier Reef, the color of the coral reef changes as does the color of the water, which varies from a green to a blue color.
The Great Barrier Reef stretches more than 2,000 kilometres along the Queensland coast, the east coast of Australia, from the mainland towns of Port Douglas to Bundaberg. The Great Barrier Reef system consists of more than 3000 reefs which range in size from 1 hectare to over 10,000 hectares in area.
You can swim, snorkel, dive and sail the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef, a living masterpiece so big that it can be seen from outer space.

But this unique and delicate place is now under threat from pollution and climate change.
大堡礁位于澳大利亚东北部近海处，是地球上最大的生物。大堡礁整体面积接近日本的国土面积，甚至从外太空都能看得到它。大堡礁已有2,500万年的历史，由生长在死珊瑚上的活珊瑚组成。它是许多鸟类和海洋生物的栖息地。但如今，这一独特又脆弱的区域正在遭受污染和气候变化的威胁。

Out of the thousands of applicants, eleven were selected, including a young woman from China. Eventually, the job was offered to Ben Southall from the UK.
要想得到这份工作，应聘者需要拍摄一个简短的视频，展示自己对大堡礁的了解程度。另外，应聘者还需要证明为何自己是这个职位的最佳人选。数千名应聘者中，入选人有十一个，其中还包括一个年轻的中国姑娘。最终，来自英国的本·索撒尔获得了这份工作。

Supplementary reading：about the final winner Ben Southall
A bungee jumping, ostrich-riding British charity worker was named Wednesday the winner of what's been dubbed the "Best Job in the World"— a 150,000 Australian dollar ($111,000) contract to serve as the caretaker of a tropical Australian island.
Ben Southall, 34, beat out nearly 35,000 applicants from around the world for the dream assignment to swim, explore and relax on Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef for six months while writing a blog to promote the area.
He was selected by officials from the tourism department of Queensland state. Southall and 15 other finalists spent the past four days on the Queensland island for an extended interview process, which required applicants to snorkel through crystalline waters, gorge themselves at a beach-side barbecue and relax at a spa. The finalists also had to demonstrate their blogging abilities, take swimming tests and sit through in-person interviews.

In his application video, Southall expressed a love for adventure, and featured photographs of himself riding an ostrich, running a marathon, trekking through Africa and kissing a giraffe.
The job is part of a AU$1.7 million tourism campaign to publicize the charms of northeastern Queensland, and officials say it has already generated more than AU$100 million worth of publicity for the region.
Southall will live for free in an airy, three-bedroom oceanfront villa with a private pool and sweeping views of the surrounding islands.

Developing ideas
When writing a paragraph or essay, just as proper grammar and spelling are important, paragraph
transitions are also important.
Transitional words and phrases connect sentences and paragraphs to each other. Paragraph transitions suggest a particular relationship between one idea and the next.
Between paragraphs, paragraph transitions help with the flow of writing from beginning to end. Transitional words and phrases often occur at the beginning of a sentence and, for more formal writing, transitional expressions are set off with a comma.
In summary, using good paragraph transitions in essays helps your ideas flow throughout the essay. In some way, transitions serve as a sort of writing glue. Yet, don't use the same transition repeatedly, unless you are doing so for a specific effect.

Since coral reefs are also in shallow water, you can actually see them from above the water! All along the Great Barrier Reef, the color of the coral reef changes as does the color of the water, which varies from a green to a blue color.
The Great Barrier Reef stretches more than 2,000 kilometres along the Queensland coast, the east coast of Australia, from the mainland towns of Port Douglas to Bundaberg. The Great Barrier Reef system consists of more than 3000 reefs which range in size from 1 hectare to over 10,000 hectares in area.

Supplementary reading：about the final winner Ben Southall
A bungee jumping, ostrich-riding British charity worker was named Wednesday the winner of what's been dubbed the "Best Job in the World"— a 150,000 Australian dollar ($111,000) contract to serve as the caretaker of a tropical Australian island.
Ben Southall, 34, beat out nearly 35,000 applicants from around the world for the dream assignment to swim, explore and relax on Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef for six months while writing a blog to promote the area.
He was selected by officials from the tourism department of Queensland state. Southall and 15 other finalists spent the past four days on the Queensland island for an extended interview process, which required applicants to snorkel through crystalline waters, gorge themselves at a beach-side barbecue and relax at a spa. The finalists also had to demonstrate their blogging abilities, take swimming tests and sit through in-person interviews.

Located off the coast of North-east Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest living thing on the planet.
About the size of Japan, it even can be seen from outer space. More than 25 million years old, the Great Barrier
Reef is made up of living coral growing on dead coral. It is host to many species of birds and sea creatures. But
this unique and delicate place is now under threat from pollution and climate change.
To get this job, the candidates had to make a short video showing how much they knew about the reef. They also
needed to prove why they were the best person to do the job. Out of the thousands of applicants, eleven were selected, including a young woman from China. Eventually, the job was offered to Ben Southall from the UK.

about the reef, he made a number of appearances on television to argue in favour of its defence. He also
worked as a presenter for the National Geographic Channel, before going on to write a book about his

Whether it was a genuine job or an eye-catching marketing event isn't really important. The most important
thing was that people all over the world became aware of the beauty of the ocean in the area. What's more, they
came to understand the delicate balance that the environment exists in and what can, and must, be done to
protect the reef. That way, it will remain a safe habitat for wildlife, as well as a dream destination for the millions of tourists who visit it each year.
