Retelling
Asia has a population of more than 3 billion. That’s to say, almost half of the people in the world live in Asia now. About one fifth of the people in the world live in China. Because of the large population, there is less living space; because of the large population, it is difficult for lots of people to find jobs; because of the large population, it is hard for China to supply energy and water to satisfy people’s daily needs; because of the large population, more cities are more crowded than before, and the traffic is much heavier; because of the large population, natural environments are becoming worse and worse.
To deal with the problem, our government has taken the one-child policy to control it. Thanks to the policy, so far, it has worked well in controlling the population. But it is still a serious problem, we have a long way to go.

3b Write a short passage of three paragraphs based on 3a.
China has the largest population in the world. It has caused many problems. Everyone should do something to solve them.
First, the government should keep the one-child policy to control the increasing population, and practice the reform and opening-up to develop our economy. Only in this way can we get more jobs and improve our living conditions.
Second, the energy and water is becoming less and less. We’d better save them as much as possible, and try to find more new energy. In order to solve the problem of heavy traffic, we call on everyone to take a bus or walk as often as possible.
