Тексты A‑G
A.

Coral reefs are large underwater structures composed of the skeletons of coral. There are hundreds of different species of coral. Coral reefs have a surprising array of shapes and colours, ranging from round, folded brain corals — named for their resemblance to a human brain — to tall, elegant sea whips and sea fans that look like brightly coloured trees or plants. Fringing reefs are the most commonly seen coral reefs, and they grow near coastlines. Barrier reefs are separated from the coastlines by deeper, wider lagoons.

B.

Corals are found all over the world's oceans, from the Aleutian Islands off the coast of Alaska to the warm tropical waters of the Caribbean Sea. The biggest coral reefs are found in the clear, shallow waters of the tropics and subtropics. The largest of these coral reef systems is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It is more than 2,400 kilometres long. Scientists have explored only about 20 percent of the ocean's floor, and they continue to find previously unknown coral reefs that have likely existed for hundreds of years.

C.

The corals that build reefs are known as hard or reef-building corals. Soft corals, such as sea fans and sea whips, do not produce reefs. The calcium carbonate that is created by hard corals provides a foundation for baby corals to settle upon. And if the local threats to coral reefs are limited, then the corals will build up over time and create a healthy, vibrant coral reef. Other types of animals and plants also contribute to the structure of reefs. For example, algae, seaweed, and sponges add to the architecture of coral reefs.

D.

The largest coral reef in the world, the Great Barrier Reef, is home to at least 400 individual species of coral and thousands of different species of fish, molluscs, sea snakes, sea turtles, whales, dolphins, birds and more. As with the other coral reefs of the world, this incredible ecological hotspot is under threat. A heat wave in 2016 caused a large percentage of the corals in the Great Barrier Reef to undergo severe bleaching and death. Even in the deeper, less-explosed areas of the reef, nearly 40 percent of the corals had partial bleaching.

E.

Healthy reefs lead to healthy oceans, and healthy oceans are vital to all life on the planet. The destruction facing not only the Great Barrier Reef, but also every reef around the world, can lead to the extinction of thousands of species of marine life. In turn, coastlines that are currently protected by reefs would more readily be flooded during storms. Some islands and low-lying countries would vanish under the water. Moreover, the highly important and profitable industry that coral reefs provide could collapse.

F.

The Australian government has put forth a long-term plan to sustain the Great Barrier Reef. The plan outlines efforts to reduce and eventually eliminate dumping materials and chemicals, reduce fishing and poaching, and monitor the water quality. There are also many attempts to rebuild the reef. Scientists are working to breed stronger species of coral that are less sensitive to warmer waters. Another group of ecologists are experimenting with growing corals on steel frames placed over the old parts of the reef.

G.

Coral reefs cover less than 1 percent of the ocean floor. All the reefs combined would equal an area of about 285,000 square km. Nevertheless, they are among the most productive and diverse ecosystems on Earth. About 25 percent of all known marine species consider coral reefs to be their home. Sometimes referred to as "the rainforests of the sea" for their biodiversity, coral reefs are the primary habitat for 4,000 species of fish, 700 species of coral and thousands of other plants and animals.

What I learned from student clubs

At the end of last semester, I was elected president of the Asian Studies Club at my university. It's a pretty cool deal - the school gives us a lot of support to host fun events, like foreign movie nights, happy hours, and special receptions. We also sponsor speakers to give special talks on Asia- related topics.

It goes without saying that becoming a leader or an officer in a student club will help you develop leadership skills that will be invaluable in all areas of life. Being in different roles, I realised that it requires a combination of leadership, advocacy, and community. And I also learned that managing people is not easy... especially students.

This lesson is probably pretty obvious, but it's something that I didn't fully understand until I experienced it myself. Taking on leadership positions is one of the most intimidating things I've ever done. However, it's also one of the most rewarding experiences, because I learned a lot about the nuances of managing teams, people, and expectations.

First of all, when adopting a leadership role, I struggle in finding the right balance between being "one of the team" and being taken seriously. I always avoid becoming an overly authoritative figure and I try to become super friendly to the people I work with. As a result, people stop taking my deadlines and requests seriously. I used to be scared of imposing real consequences, and I thought I could get things done just by being best friends with my team. I learned the hard way that this does not always work - it is important to set expectations on the very first day of a project and to have tough conversations once in a while.

Additionally, I cannot emphasise how much I came to value the importance of communication. I realised that I am usually the most frustrated when I'm working on projects where communication is lacking. This is when people don't respond to group messages (or when they do, it's very minimal), don't share their concerns or challenges, don't participate in discussions, or are generally just disengaged.

This happens a lot in student clubs (or even class projects). One of the unique challenges of working with students is that they have tons of other things going on, and it's hard to know if the thing you're working together on is even in their priority list. If you've ever worked in student groups, you are probably familiar with people saying something similar to this: "Oh, I'm so sorry. I had a midterm and another homework assignment going on, so I couldn't finish it. Can I do it by next week?"

I realised that I actually don't mind it when my team moves things around to fit their schedule, but this requires communication. I've come to appreciate when people inform me that they have other things that they have to prioritise, and then work out alternatives together with me. This experience made me very conscious of my own communication skills when I have to work with others. I try to keep myself accountable and be on top of communicating my priorities, expectations, and especially challenges to my managers and teammates.

Overall, leading student clubs taught me the importance of setting expectations and communication (and that students are probably the hardest group of people to manage). Nevertheless, I enjoyed identifying people's strengths to build an executive board of students who are truly passionate about change and community. Serving as a leader of a student club presents a visible platform for me to help people bring their best selves to the table and think outside of their comfort zone, as college is a time to discover who you are and what intrigues you.
