Model
Answer (Total words = 268 words)
Paragraph
1 In most countries of the world the
population is increasing alarmingly. This is especially
true in (introduction) poor, underdeveloped countries.
Overpopulation causes a considerable number of problems.
Paragraph
2 In poor countries it is difficult to
provide enough food to feed even the present number
of people. In addition, (n.
impact) education to limit the
number of children per family is not always successful. Poorer countries
usually have a lot of unemployment too, and an increase in population simply
makes the situation worse. The
environment also suffers when there are too
many people living on the
land.
Paragraph
3 In rich, industrialised and developing
countries it is very difficult for governments to provide effective public
services in ( n. impact) overcrowded cities. Moreover, there is usually a great deal
more crime, which is often due to high rates of unemployment. Further large
increases in population only cause more overcrowding,
unemployment and crime.
Paragraph
4 There are two main solutions to the
overpopulation problem. Firstly, every
woman who is pregnant but who does (solutions ) not want to give birth should be
allowed by law to have an abortion. Secondly,
governments must educate people to limit the size of the family. In China, couples
are penalised financially if they have
more than one child. This may seem
cruel, but the ‘one-child policy’ is beginning to have an effect in the world’s
most populous nation. Eventually, similar
policies might also be necessary in other crowded nations, such as India for
example.
Paragraph
5 To
sum up, if the population explosion continues, many more people will die of
starvation in poor countries, and
life (conclusion) in the cities,
even in affluent nations, will become increasingly difficult.
