Speaking exercise

What is your opinion on the destruction of coral reefs?

We should protect coral reefs because they can make the Eco-system more healthy. If we don’t protect the coral reefs, we will lose fish. and coral reefs can provide people more seafood, not only fish, but also other things. And if the coral reefs are destroyed their will be covered with seaweed. That’s the problem of the ocean.


We should protect coral reefs because they can keep the Eco-system healthy. If we don’t protect the coral reefs, the fish will not have a place to hide and we will have less fish. So, it will have a big impact on the fishing industry. And coral reefs can provide people with more seafood, not only fish. And if the coral reefs are destroyed their habitat will be covered with seaweed. That’s a problem for the ocean.
