Language points
1. Recently, we have learned about the population of the world.（教材P98）
population n. 人口 为集体名词，通常与冠词连用，被看成一个整体。表示人口“多”或“少”时，一般用large 或small 来修饰，而不用many、more 或few等修饰。
e.g. China is a country with a large population.
中国是一个人口众多的国家。
拓展：表示某一地点有多少人口时，用“ 地点＋ has a population of ＋数词”或者“the population of ＋地点＋ is ＋数词” 结构。
e.g. Our town has a population of about 20,000.
我们镇大约有两万人。
The population of our town is about 20,000.
我们镇大约有两万人。
提问某地有多少人口时，用What 而不用How many 或How much。询问某地人口常用结构是：“What is/was the population of＋地点？”
e.g. What’s the population of Hebei Province
河北省有多少人口？

动名词作主语与不定式作后置定语
