候，似乎每个角落都有使我感到惊奇的东西等着我：黄绿相间的鹦嘴鱼倒挂着，用它那像鸟嘴一样的硬嘴从珊瑚上吮吸微小植物；一条带着黄斑点的红色海蛞蝓从一个蓝色的海星旁边滑行过去；一只长相聪慧的大乌龟紧贴我的身旁而过，伸手便可触及。

　　There were other creatures that I didn't want to get too close to\s\up1(29(29) - an eel\s\up1(30(30) with itsstrong sharp\s\up1(31(31) teeth, \s\up1(32(32)with only its head showing from a hole, watching for a tasty\s\up1(33(33) fish(or my tasty toe！); and the giant\s\up1(34(34) clam\s\up1(35(35) half buried in some coral waiting for somethingto swim in between\s\up1(36(36) its thick green lips. Then there were two grey\s\up1(37(37) reef sharks, eachabout one and a half metres long, which suddenly appeared from behind some coral\s\up1(38(38). I toldmyself they weren't dangerous but that didn't stop me from feeling scared to death\s\up1(39(39) for amoment!

It marked a boundary\s\up1(43(43) and I thought I was very brave when I swam over the edge of the reef and hung there looking down into the depths of the ocean\s\up1(44(44). My heart was beating wildly\s\up1(45(45) - I felt very exposed in\s\up1(46(46) such deep clear water.
