SUGGESTED ANSWER

In the program Mr Brown, an expert, is talking about the world

population At present the world population is over 6.7 billion, and with the increase rate of about 76 million a year, the population of the world

is expected to be over 7 billion by the year 2015 However, the rate of

population growth is not similar in all parts of the world The main reason

for the population explosion is a fall in death rates, which is due to the improvement of the living conditions and medical care Mr Brown mentions 4 main problems caused by the explosion of population: the

shortage of food, the lack of hospitals and schools, illiteracy and low living

conditions Also, he suggests 4 solutions to these problems: (1) educate &

make people aware of the danger of having more children; (2) provide safe, inexpensive birth-control methods; (3)strictly implement a family planning policy; (4) exercise strict and fair reward and punishment policies.
