The Great Barrier Reef is an amazing ocean ecosystem off the coast of Australia. As one of the seven natural  1  of the world, it is famous for its clear water and different types of sea life. However, this beautiful ecosystem is facing serious problems because of the  2  climate.

The biggest problem is coral bleaching (白化). When the ocean gets too warm, the corals lose the colourful algae (a kind of plant) that they need  3  , turning white. While bleached coral is not dead right away, it can  4  stay hungry and get weak. From 2016, the reef already suffered five such bleaching events. And in 2024, the bleaching was part of a worldwide event and affected the reef's northern, central, and  5  parts.

The damage (损害) is serious. For example, in the northern areas, coral cover on some  6  dropped by 11% in just one year after the recent bleaching event. One area even lost over one  7  of its hard coral—the biggest loss recorded in the past 39 years. A long-term study also found that the time available (可利用的) for coral recovery is now much  8  .

In the past, only a small percentage of reefs were affected (被影响) by such bleaching events, but now  9  half are affected. This makes full recovery very difficult.

So,  10  the Great Barrier Reef, we must reduce the pollution (污染) that is warming our oceans. Only then can we ensure a future for this amazing place.

Luckily, a local artist, Jon Minshull, helped her realize the dream in a (n)  2  way. Instead of planting flowers, he managed to create a mural (壁画) of a garden on the outside wall of her house.

The mural is full of elements (要素) in nature. They  3  colourful flowers, lively birds and pretty butterflies. When Baker first saw the mural, she was surprised by perfect  4  and her face lit up with pleasure.

Baker said, “The mural looks as real as the  5  scenery. And I don’t need to do any gardening. I can  6  enjoy its beauty any time.”

Many old people in the community showed  7  about the artwork and went to see it. “Of all my paintings, this one is the  8  . I will never forget the big smiles on Mrs Baker’s and the  9  faces. Their joy inspired me. Many old people can’t travel long distances, but actually they look forward to seeing beautiful scenery. Maybe painting is an excellent way of bringing more different landscapes to them,” Jon said. “I plan to keep painting murals so that I can bring  10  to more old people.”
