【过关笔记】
Lingling: What are you doing?
Tony: I'm preparing a report called "The world's population".
Lingling: Well, I can help! I just watched a video about world population yesterday. It said the world's population was about 7.8 billion in 2020. And the number will climb to 8.5 billion in 2030.
Tony: I can't believe it! That's a huge number. Which countries are seeing the most population growth?
Lingling: The largest increase in population will take place in India, Nigeria and Pakistan.By 2030, India will have about 1.5 billion people.
Tony: Hang on a minute! I'll make some notes!
Lingling: When populations increase too fast, it can cause problems, such as too much traffic and noise.
Tony: That's true. How about countries with slow-growing populations?
Lingling: Countries with low birth rates have problems too.There aren't enough people to do all the jobs, or enough young people to look after the older ones.
Tony: I see. Great, thanks for the information! Now I can write my report!
