According to a report in 2023, India had the most population in the world. It became the world's most populous country. __▲__
According to the report, the world's population reached 8 billion on 15th November 2022. And the number may grow to 8.5 billion in 2030, and to 10.4 billion in 2100.
The population of India was 1.21 billion in 2011. That number was from India's official population count, or census(人口普查). The census is carried out once every 10 years. The government didn't do the 2021 census for some reasons.
The world's population was growing at its slowest rate after 1950 and fell below 1 percent in 2020. In 2021, the average fertility rate(平均生育率) of the world's population was 2.3 births per woman over a lifetime. That was down from about 5 births per woman in 1950.
Worldwide fertility rate may fall further to 2.1 births per woman by 2050. That will not be a positive thing because there will be fewer workers in the world. Worldwide life expectancy(预期寿命) at birth fell to 71 years in 2021. That was down from 72.8 years in 2019.
According to the report, more than half of the increase in the world's population will happen in different countries.

Changes in Our Town
By Li Hua
I want to tell you something about our town. Recently I have found out some huge changes in our town.
In the past, it was a beautiful town with blue sky and clean water. And there was less population. But now many factories appear. There is more and more air and water pollution. Many people from other places move here to find jobs, so our town is becoming crowded.
In my opinion, I suggest the government should take action to solve the problems. And people can do some small things, such as driving cars less and planting more trees in our town. We should try our best to protect our town. And I believe our town will become better and better.
