Which problems are the most important in

these statement ? And

Why ?

Which problems will

we have when we are overpopulated?

The rapid growth of the

world's population over the

past one hundred years

results from a difference

between the rate of birth

and the rate of death The

human population will

increase by 1 billion people

in the next decade This is

like adding the whole

population of China to the

world's population

Nowadays, many countries are facing up to overpopulation-

serious problem.

Many people regard the rapid population growth of developing countries as our most

serious environmental problems Others think

that the population growth in developed countries, though smaller, is actually a greater threat to

the environment What kinds of problems result from population growth in developing countries

and in industrialized countries ???

Rapid human population growth has a variety of consequences.

First, the environment is not and has never been in a stable condition It is

a myth that the environment is a stable

condition It is a myth that the most

remote places on Earth have been

completely changed gradually by humanity, already, hundreds of times

Let’s take Australia for example: soon after people moved in 70,000 years ago, it was

deforested, 10 foot tall man-eating birds and

giant sloths, …etc, were wiped out Nothing is ever the same as it was, and can not ever remain the

same Giant cave bears, tigers, and whooly

mammoths wiped out Easter Island, wiped out and deforested Corn farming in America for

20,000 years, left deserts Ferile pigs wiped out 1,000,000 species all over All is artificial, and

don’t like it was With that introduction I have

just said that we are changing the environment

Second, that is the shortage of food as well as low living standards And another result of

overpopulation is poor living conditions For example: + Decreasing availability of food and clothes + Acute shortage of drinking and irrigation water.

+ Increase housing problems in cities or towns + Unemployment problems of serious dimension both in urban and rural areas leading to reduced per capita earning, poverty

+ Lack of school/ hospital/ teacher/ doctor/

nurse/ education/ facilities colleges

We don’t

have enough

food for

everyone.

Lack of water

Water pollution

Poor living conditions

Homeless children

Shortage of food

Next, some more possible consequences :

+ Very high vehicular movement in cities / towns leading to accidents, pollution.

+ Serious problem connected to vast urban waste generation and its disposal.

+ Unending demands for civic amenities like roads, transport, markets …

For example: In India, the over population has engulfed almost all our

achievements in industrial growth,

agricultural production, supporting services like medical care, housing, transport,

education, banking …etc It has put

serious pressures on every sector of our

economy and every section of society

Almost all our national problems can be

traced back to have their roots in

overgrowing population.

• Useful language:

– First/firstly, second/secondly, next and

so on

– On the other hand,…

– Besides, moreover, in addition,…

– The first problem is that….

Task 4: Talk about the problems of

overpopulation and offer solution, using

the results of task 2 and 3.

limited access

to modern contraception and family planning

There are several possible solutions to

population explosion problem.

- The government should carry out population education programs to raise people’s awareness about overpopulation.

- Birth contol programs should be applied nationwide One family should only have one or two kids This can helps families to avoid having financial problems and raise family living standard so they can take care of their children better.

- Couples should be encouraged to join family planning classes to have more knowledge about birth-control

-The government should enforce some rules to control the number of children each family and the period between two births (for those

countries which allows to have more than one child per family).

- They should also implement reward and punishment policy.

A good population control
