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.
