Problems Caused by the Increasing Population
Nowadays,the population of the world is becoming larger and larger. With the increase of the population of the world,there are more and more problems. First, there is less and less food for everyone to eat. So some people in poor areas will even die of hunger. Second, the cities become bigger and bigger,and more and more people have their own cars. This causes much more air pollution and noise pollution. Third, there is less and less energy for people to use. So we should try our best to control the increase of the population. Then we will have a happier life.

Hello, everyone. I’m very pleased to make a speech here. Today I want to talk about the world’s population.
There are about 7.2 billion people in the world. There are still more and more babies born. As the population of the world is increasing, it causes many problems. For example, there is less living space for each family. We have not got enough energy. In some places, many young people can’t find jobs and there are more and more pollution. The traffic is much heavier than before. We have a long way to go to solve these problems, but we must try.
