B. The population of the world is growing rapidly these days. Think of the problems the growing population will create in near future? Write a paragraph about it. Use the clues given in the box.

- cost of living - diseases - deforestation - pollution - other problem

Answer:

The population of the world is growing rapidly these days. Rapid population growth is not good. Some countries have large population. For example, China has the largest population in the world. India also has a large number of people. Over population may create so many problems in the world. Natural resources have been used excessively. Therefore, there will be pollution. The cost of living will be high because free and natural gift will be cleared up soon. We won’t have petroleum fuel. Life will be difficult without such fuels. There may be the chance of different types of diseases. We will have to face different types of pandemics. People will destroy the jungle for firewood and settlement so there will be deforestation. The world will be polluted. There may be other problems also because of rapid growth of population. So rapid population growth should be controlled.
