有关人口问题的英语作文(汇编19篇)

2004 marks the 10th anniversary of the groundbreaking International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, Egypt, in 1994.

Ten years ago, on the eve of World Population Day, a new campaign was launched to raise awareness of how international family planning helps save women and childrens lives, safeguard the environment, and slow population growth. 179 governments committed to it when they signed the Program of Action of ICPD, which prescribes the steps that will not only save millions of womens lives but empower（授权, 使能够）societies to achieve a better future.

Today, there are more than 6 billion people on the planet, with half of the worlds population under the age of 25-at or just reaching their childbearing（分娩）years.

Nearly 600,000 women still die each year from pregnancy-related causes. And an estimated 90 percent of infants whose mothers die at childbirth will not survive to their first birthday.

Wild species are becoming extinct 50 to 100 times faster than they naturally would, because of the impact of rapid population growth and increased population density in many countries.

Though population growth is slowing worldwide, more than 90 percent of current growth occurs in the developing world where needs are great and resources are scarce. And these nations have a huge unmet need for family planning services-over 150 million married women of reproductive age in the developing world indicate that they would prefer to postpone childbearing but are not using any method of contraception.

"Girl born today in the developing world faces better prospects than a girl who was born 10 years ago. School enrolment rates are increasing, mortality is declining and life expectancy（平均寿命） is rising, more and more women and couples are able to choose the number and spacing of their children and many countries are taking additional steps to confront HIV/AIDS. But progress is uneven, and in some cases slipping backwards. We need the strength and determination of a marathon（马拉松赛跑）runner to meet our goals during the next decade."

Given is a table which clearly illustrates the striking trend of aged population in China from 1990 to 2050. During the first 22 years, the number of people aged 60 and above ascended slightly from 97.19 to 136 million, and since 2012 it is predicted that this number will surge remarkably, reaching 410 million in 2050. Meanwhile, the proportion of aged citizens revealed and will reveal the similar trend, and it will reach 27.4% in total population.

Such a scenario can be naturally associated with various problems in aged society. For one thing, aged society is best characterized by the more burden for youngsters to support parents, which will enable younger generation to work harder. For another, compared with the past and today, the aged citizens will play a more important role in society. A case in point is their age for retiring will be extended. Therefore, a larger proportion of senior citizens have to take more responsibilities in work, family and society.

Accordingly, it is advisable for Chinese government to focus more eyesight on the coming challenges in the forthcoming future. Meanwhile, it is essential for China to work out comprehensive strategies to strengthen its social welfare to reduce young people’s stress.

Such a scenario can be naturally associated with various problems in aged society, but what resulted in this change above? For one thing, the past 30 years was best characterized by the policy of Family Plan in China, which enabled a host of families to have only one kid and enabled the proportion of youngsters to decline. For another, compared with the past, medical care and quality of life is and will be better; therefore, a larger proportion of people live longer. Consequently, the percentage of aged people showed and will show a trend of rise.

As we all known,food safety problems are more and more popular in our country,because

more cases about food safety problem have appeared.

Firstly,As the old saying goes,the food is what matters to the people.Food plays an important role in peoples life.So food safety influences peoples health and life.Secondly,some producers only think about earning money without thinking about ensuring food safty.they produce unqualified food.Thirdly,some food supervisory departpents dont perform their duty completely.This behavior make some producer ignore the safety of production.

If we want to solve problems that is illustrated former,we must call on the supervisory department to manage the food market.And the producers must paly their roles.Lastly,we hope that there is law that punish illegal acts.

人口问题(The Problems of Large Population)

It is reported that the world’s population was 6 billion in the year 2,000, and it is growing faster and faster. The world’s population problem is the greatest one because it brings lots of problems, such as water resources problem, more and more people losing their jobs and so on. These problems are mainly in the developing countries because the population of the developing countries is over 4/ 5 of the world’s popuation. So China, the largest developing country, has kept the policy one couple, one child.

[考博英语作文23：人口增长、 人口质量

北京大学社会人口学教授李建新表示,现在的年轻人,尤其是城市长大的年轻人,不大可能不考虑这一决定所要面临的经济挑战而冒然决定要二胎.

Li Jianxin, a professor of social demography at Peking University, says that the younger generation, especially those living in cities, are unlikely to have more children without first considering the economic challenges that decision might bring.

“80后一代人的生活方式和观点与50后、60后有着明显的不同,”李教授说,“多数人不想要那么多孩子,孩子的健康更重要.”

The lifestyle and viewpoints of the post-80s generation are totally different from the 50s and 60s generations, Li said. "Many Chinese want to give birth to fewer but healthier children."

25岁的上海摄影师原田只有1个1岁大的女儿.考虑到抚养1个孩子的成本以及生孩子对自己事业发展所造成的挑战,她觉得1个孩子就足够了.

Yuan Tian, a 25-year-old photographer in Shanghai, has a 1-year-old daughter. And one, she says, is enough – due both to the cost of raising a child and to the challenges a child poses to developing a career.

“生孩子对我的事业影响很大,”她说,“重新回到岗位后,我要花几个月的时间才能赶上同事的步伐.而且也不能把全部精力都集中在工作上,我不得不早点离开办公室去照顾女儿.”

Giving birth really affected my career, she said. "When I returned to work, it took me several months to catch up with my colleagues again. And I cant focus on my work, since I need to leave the office early to take care of my daughter."

The first fifty years of the next millennium will be critical for the worlds population. By 2050 population growth should have leveled off, but by then well have 10 billion people--two-thirds as many again as we have today.The rate of population growth is something we can choose right now, though: its not something that just happens, but a matter of human choice. The choice is a complicated one,with many variables, but it remains a choice.

If we want to prevent a population explosion, we should take action now -or assist the poorer countries to do so. They need better government, better institutions, better labor and capital markets, better schools.

Anything that increases the value of womens time and adds to the cost of caring for a child makes a woman less likely to have that child. Since big families are often seen as safety nets for illness and old age, improving poor peoples access to insurance, pensions and welfare institutions also has a major impact. This can be as simple as rural credit, providing a means of saving. Finally, there is education--both for women and, perhaps even more important, for the next generation of children.

These steps are there to be taken, but there appear to be some countries that are not seriously trying at the moment. If we cannot achieve that we will certainly not control population.

That said, I dont feel pessimistic that we are going to run out of resources: we are becoming more efficient at producing food faster than the rate at which population is increasing. There is, however, a risk that we will wreck the environment so effectively that the world will no longer be an attractive place to live. That really would be a dismal outcome, to reach world population equilibrium only to find wed destroyed the natural environment in the process.

第一个五十年的下一年世界人口将至关重要。到2050年人口增长应该趋于平稳,但那时我们将有100亿人——我们今天三分之二尽可能多的再次。人口的增长是我们可以选择现在,尽管:这不是刚好,但人类选择的问题。选择是一个复杂的,有许多变量,但它仍然是一个选择。

如果我们想避免人口爆炸,我们现在应该采取行动或者帮助贫穷国家。他们需要更好的政府,更好的制度,更好的劳动力和资本市场,更好的学校。

任何增加的价值,女性的时间和增加了的成本照顾一个孩子会让一个女人更不可能有孩子。自大家庭往往被视为安全网疾病和衰老,改善贫困人口获得保险、退休金和福利机构也有重大影响。这可以简单如农村信用,提供储蓄的一种手段。最后,还有教育,对于女性来说,也许更重要的是,对于下一代的孩子。

有采取这些步骤,但似乎有些国家不认真努力。如果我们不能实现,我们将肯定不是控制人口。

说,我不觉得悲观,我们将耗尽资源:我们正变得更有效地生产粮食的速度比人口增长的速度。然而,风险,我们将有效地破坏环境,世界将不再是一个吸引人居住的地方。这确实是一个可悲的结果,实现了人口的平衡却发现在这个过程中我们破坏了自然环境。

As we all know,Chinas mainland population grew to 1.339 billion by 2010,according to census figures released on Thursday,so the government take many action to reduce population.In the most families only have one children,for example me,in my home,my parents only have one children.In fact,I really want to have a brother or sister,because if I have a brother or sister,I will not feel lonely.And if I have some problems,he or she can help me.We can play together and grow up together,when I saw other children play with his brother pr sister in my childhood,I’m admired him very much.Until now,I also want to have a brother,if I have something can’t tell others,I can tell him,and he will protect me.

So in the future,when I have my own family,I will be a parent,I hope I will have two children,one is a boy,the other is a girl.They can accompany with each other,and the brother can protect sister if she have some problems in the outside,and they can study how to cooperate.When they grow up,we will be old,he and she also have many babies,and we will live together very happy.

As we all know，the environmemt around us is getting worse and worse .In some places，we cant see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to protect the environment. But what can we do?How to protect our environmemt ?For example，we can go to school on foot or by bike . we can use shopping baskets not plastic bags when we go shopping，and we can use both sides of the paper when we write .In a word，if everyone pays more attention to our environment ，there will be less pollution and our life will be better。“There is only one earth”，I hope everyone will protect our environment well.

人口快速增长带来的问题（图表作文强化练习）

[题目要求]

Directions: Study the following graphs carefully and write an essay in at least 150 words. Your essay should cover these points;

1. effect of the country’s growing human population in its wildlife

2. possible reasons for the effect

3. your suggestion for wildlife protection (15 points)

【参考范文】 the ups and downs of population growth

As is seen from the two graphs, it is clear that with the rapid growth of U.S. population from 1800 to 1990, the number of its wildlife species no longer existing soared during the same period. Naturally, we can draw the conclusion that the sharp decline of wildlife species resulted from the population growth.

Two reasons may account for this phenomenon. To begin with, as the population grows, people consume much more natural resources, which often leads to excessive hunting. Second, with the increase of human activities, modern people take up more and more space. Which has a great impact on other species. Finally, the problem of pollution becomes more and more serious with the development of modern industry. More and more animals have to adapt themselves to the decaying environment or move to a totally different place, but not all of them are fortunate enough to survive the changes.

Solving this problem calls for, above all, the government’s efforts to control population growth, to decrease industrial pollution and to enhance the laws to forbid wildlife hunting. Moreover, common citizens should be aware of this ecological crisis and take on the responsibility of wildlife protection. In a word, only when the government and the common people make joint e f forts can we hope to find a satisfactory solution to this problem

导语：科学的进步和生活条件的改善导致了世界人口的迅速增长。以下是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的关于人口控制的英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Progress in science and the improvement of living conditions have led to the rapid growth of the world population. Modern medicine, for example, has made it possible for babies to grow up healthily and for people to live longer. With improved living conditions, particularly in the countryside, people tend to have larger families. As a result, the world population has increased so rapidly that it has now exceeded 6 billion.

But the overgrowth of population presents a threat to the existence of human society. A large population demands a GREat deal of food supply and shelter space. However, limited productivity and scarce world resources can hardly meet the needs of the ever-increasing population. Thus, in the long run, the overgrowth of the world population will only harm mankind.

To guarantee the steady development of human society, mankind must realize the consequences resulting from fast population growth and carry out a family planning programme. Only by adopting effective measures, can human society develop steadily and have a bright future.

科学的进步和生活条件的改善导致了世界人口的迅速增长。例如，现代医学使婴儿健康成长和人们长寿的可能性成为可能。随着生活条件的改善，特别是在农村，人们往往有更大的家庭。结果，世界人口增长如此迅速，现在已超过60亿。

但是人口的过度增长对人类社会的生存构成了威胁。大量的人口需要大量的食物供应和住房空间。然而，有限的生产力和稀缺的世界资源很难满足日益增长的人口需求。因此，从长远来看，世界人口的过度增长只会损害人类。

为了保障人类社会的稳定发展，人类必须认识到人口快速增长所带来的后果，实行计划生育。只有采取有效措施，人类社会才能稳步发展，前途光明。

It has been billed as a hi-tech bike-sharing boom that entrepreneurs hope will make them rich while simultaneously transforming Chinas traffic-clogged cities.

But, occasionally, dreams can turn sour.

In the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, more than 500 bicycles for hire have been found dumped in huge piles on the streets, according to reports.

Pictures showed jumbled stacks of vehicles nearly three metres high, with handlebars, baskets and other parts scattered on the ground.

City streets around the country have seen an explosion of the colourful bikes that users can rent on demand with a smartphone app and then park wherever they choose.

The sharing economy is taking off in China, where ride-sharing and Airbnb are increasingly commonplace.

From Shanghai to Sichuan province, bike-sharing schemes are being rolled out in an effort to slash congestion and air pollution by putting a country once known as the "Kingdom of Bicycles" back on two wheels.

Companies such as Ofo and Mobike, with their rival fleets of bumblebee yellow and fluorescent orange bikes, have been locked in a cut-throat battle for customers.

But problems have arisen when clients have abandoned their cycles.

"Some people these days just have really bad character," a man named He, who lives near where the stacks appeared, told the Southern Metropolis Daily.

"When theyre done using (the bike) they just throw it away somewhere, because theyve already paid."

In the past few days he witnessed people demolishing the bikes before discarding them on the side of the road, he said.

Residents told the paper that bikes had been piling up over the past week, either parked haphazardly by careless users or stacked by local security guards trying to clear narrow residential alleys and footpaths.

Zhuang Chuangyu, a representative at Shenzhens municipal peoples congress, said the city needed to step up regulation of the bike-sharing industry in order to improve traffic conditions and safety standards, especially since schoolchildren often used the bikes.

In 1980, almost 63% of commuters cycled to work, the Beijing Morning Post reported in 2015, citing government data. But by 2000 that number had plummeted to 38% and today it stands at less than 12%.

Car use, meanwhile, has rocketed. In 2010 China overtook the US to become the worlds largest car market, with 13.5m vehicles sold in just 12 months.

但问题出现时，客户已经放弃了他们的周期。

“有些人这几天真的很坏，”一个叫他，他住在附近的栈出现，告诉南方都市报。

“当他们使用(自行车)，他们只是把它扔在某处，因为他们已经支付。”

他说，在过去的几天里，他亲眼目睹人们在把自行车扔到路边的时候拆除自行车。

居民告诉记者，自行车被堆放在过去的一周里，要么停地由粗心的用户或由当地保安试图明确狭窄的胡同和人行道堆放。

1980日，北京晨报报道，近63%的上班族骑车上班，引用政府数据。但是到了2000，这个数字已经降到了38%，而今天却还不到12%。

环境问题 英语作文【1】

There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years.

One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil.

the polluted air does great harm to people’s health.

The polluted water causes diseases and death.

What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities.

To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot.

Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution.

Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures.

First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education.

Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution.

Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished.

We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

With the improvement of our living standard, more and more people can afford a car.

As a result, our roads are more often than not crammed with cars.

However, with more and more waste gas being discharged by the cars, the problem of air pollution becomes even more serious.

So nowadays we advocate to lead a low-carbon life.

My suggestion is we should ride bikes more often instead of driving cars.

By riding a bike, we can not only exercise our body but also protect our environment.

Why not have a try, my dear friends?

Recently,fog and haze has become a imminent threat which most northerners in China are facing.

While the cities of China have greeted striking speed of development with open arms,they suffer greatly from a persistent and dense haze of pollution and smog.

It is high time that we took some methods to protect the environment and ourselves.

Generally speaking,there are three effective ways.

First of all,the government should take into serious consideration the emergency and severity of the air pollution,and take measure to deal with it.

Such as more public transportation systems should be put in use,more energy-saving resources should be utilized.

What’s more,every little effort from individuals counts.

The citizens should contribute to the reduction of pollution by driving less.

Last but not least,try to reduce the time of outdoor activities,especially when the air quality is not good enough.

From what has been mentioned above, to protect our air,we must keep in mind that whatever we give out,we take back in the long run.

So we have to drive less,pollute less and make more changes.

presently, the world is faced with serious water problems. but these problems witt become more intense and more comple in the future. our increasing population witt tremendously increase urban waters, primarily sewage. on the other hand, increasing demands for water witt decrease substantially the amount of water available for diluting wastes.

rapidly epanding industries which involve more and more comple chemical processes will produce large volumes of liquid wastes. many of thesewitt contain chemicals that are poisonous. to feed our rapidly epanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified.

this will involve ever increasing quantities of agriculture chemicals. from this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problems.

there are two ways by which these pollution problems can be lessened. the first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. this involves the processing of solid wastes "prior to" disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes to permit the reuse to the water or best reduce pollution upon final disposal.

the second approach is to develop an economic use for all or part of the wastes. farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient. wastes from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained.

liquid wastes from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. only by doing these promptly now can we epect to solve the serious water problems in the future.

“盼望着，盼望着，东风来了，春天的脚步近了……” 是地球母亲，给我们带来了一个又一个美丽的春天。4月22日，当第37个“世界地球日”踏着春天的舞步来到我们身边的时候，我们不能不想一想：我们应该如何善待地球母亲，应该怎样珍惜地球母亲赐予我们的万里春光。 善待地球——珍惜资源，持续发展，是这个春天的主旋律。 但是，当前在我国，无论土地资源还是矿产资源，其保护、利用和永续利用的形势，都不容我们乐观。我们不得不问一问：地球的春天，是永远的吗? 尽管我们实行的是世界上最严格的土地管理制度，可在一些地方，乱占乱用农地和基本农田的事，还时不时地发生;我们大大小小的城市，由钢筋混凝土铺就的“大饼”，仍在一个劲儿地向四面八方扩张，吞噬着周围的万顷粮田…… 尽管矿产资源供给已经成了经济快速发展的制约瓶颈，可在一些地方，以浪费和破坏资源为标志的无证小矿山，仍在不停地乱采滥挖;即使在大矿山，“吃一半扔一半”的粗放开采方式也还在继续;乱堆乱放的尾矿，不但使本来可以利用的矿产资源惨遭抛弃，还可能在雨季形成泥石流，变为摧毁田地、庄稼和百姓生命财产的杀手;矿山采空区的地面塌陷和地裂缝，不但使农民失去了赖以生存的土地资源，也威胁着他们的居住安全;我们本是世界上最缺水的国家，可生产和生活用水还在被随意地挥霍着，珍贵的地下水被过量开采或者污染着;我们的能源已经十分短缺了，可雨后春笋般新建住房的粗放供暖，仍在浪费着油和煤炭资源…… 在土地、矿产资源供求全面紧张的今天，我们必须改变国土资源利用粗放、效率低下、浪费严重的现状。党中央和国务院高度重视国土资源节约集约利用，要求我们在战略机遇与矛盾凸显并存的关键时期，有高度的历史责任感、强烈的忧患意识和广阔的世界眼光，准确把握我国发展的阶段性特征，立足科学发展，着力自主创新，加快转变经济增长方式，把节约资源作为基本国策，发展循环经济，保护生态环境，加快建设资源节约型、环境友好型社会，促进经济发展与人口、资源、环境相协调。 为了建设节约型社会，“十一五”期间国家立下了几个必须达到的约束性硬指标：耕地保有量保持1.2亿公顷，单位国内生产总值能源消耗降低20%左右，单位工业增加值用水量降低30%，农业灌溉用水有效利用系数提高到0.5，工业固体废物综合利用率提高到60%(预期性)。

现在，各级政府和企业正在为实现这些目标努力，我们每一个公民都要为实现这些目标努力。资源短缺、能源危机就在我们身边，“电荒”、“油荒”、“煤荒”、“水荒”等等，正无时不刻在困扰着我们。珍惜资源靠你我他。只有全社会共同努力，才能使我们摆脱快速发展中的资源困境，走向资源节约、环境友好的社会。 珍惜资源，保护资源，节约资源，人人有责。让我们从现在做起，从我做起，从点点滴滴做起，珍惜地球母亲赐予我们的一切自然资源，使我们的家园年年春光灿烂……

Living alone or Living with Roommates

Nowadays, there has appeared a heated discussion among the college students as to whether they should live alone outside the campus or live together with other roommates in the students’ dormitory. Opinions are divided over the matter.

Those who are in favor of Living alone maintain that it is very convenient to live by themselves. They can enjoy absolute freedom in a room of their own. They can have their own timetable without disturbing others. They are also free to equip the room with a personal computer so that they can have easy access to the Internet. From www.joozone.com.

But others argue that living with roommates has attractions of its own. With several students sharing the same room, each person’s experiences can be greatly enriched. They can learn a lot from talking to one another. By learning to tolerate the differences between individuals, they can become more mature.

As far as I’m concerned, I prefer to live with roommates because I love the feeling of belonging. Besides, it is a lot cheaper to live in a dorm than to rent a apartment outside the campus.

现如今，在高校学生中有一个很热门的讨论话题是他们应该独自在校园外居住还是与室友一起在学生宿舍居住，在这个问题上不同人的看法分歧很大。

那些喜欢独自生活的学生认为自己生活很方便。他们在自己的房子里能够享受完全的自由。他们可以随意安排自己的时间而不干扰别人。他们也可以自由的将个人电脑搬进房间，这样他们就可以很方便的上网。

但是其他人则认为和室友同住有它自己的优点。很多人同住一个房间，个人的经历会丰富许多。他们可以在互相交谈中学到许多。通过学习包容彼此的不同，他们会变得更加成熟。

就我自己而言，我更愿意与室友同住，因为我喜欢相处的感觉。另外，住学生宿舍要比在校外租住公寓便宜许多。

“你如果要体会什么是沮丧，你就在春节前后到北京或广州的火车站去看看。一张张怆惶的脸在人群中涌动。你这时才知道了一个民族的伤口在哪里。”刚分到国家计生委的研究生小m对几位作家这样描述。他工作的国家计生委在二十年中使中国少生了5个亿，这个数字推迟了灾难降临中国大陆。但他们要忍受很多来自国际上的谴责以及国内的不理解、甚至基层工作人员被暴力侵害。而且这个单位一直被忽视……

人口灾难是否会降临，我们不得而知。我们只知道未来一个世纪中国大陆最大的问题(比环境、腐败、经济、教育更严峻)是人口问题。

大陆老农穷贫到极点却不忘生孩子

“你猜我们家的保姆家里有几个小孩，你保准猜不着，她兄弟姐妹9个。”女作家项小米对我叹道：“太可怕了!他们陕西那什么县，普遍如此，都是七八个孩子。没活干，没田种，树全砍秃了，地慢慢变成沙漠，这些人要吃饭，就都跑到城里。把城里弄的脏乱差，犯罪率激升。就冲这我也要把我女儿送到美国……”

记者在近一两年中发现，这种一家生五六个、七八个的现象在大陆许多地方相当普遍。计划生育的国策，各地执行是很弹性的，有的地方甚至变成干部敛钱的工具，你不是要生吗?拿钱来。

实际上，独生子女政策已经成为汪洋大海中的城市孤岛的一块招牌。

记者几年前到国家贫困县山西大宁采访扶贫款被贪污案时，曾到一个家徒四壁的山民家里走访，这家主人，一个四五十岁的低矮老农，连遭不幸，不仅被干部用他的名字领扶贫款，却分文没给他，最小的男孩子还被山草中的蛇咬伤，性命垂危。当我们走进他山坳中的窑洞时，他哭了起来，我们力所能及地给了他一点资助，他扑通跪在地上以表感激。当知道他有多少孩子时，我们几个人都大吃一惊，八个。

这完全出乎我们的意料，多年来计划生育大好形势的宣传，使我们觉得农村最多能生两个，即使那些一味抗法、被扒屋毁灶的人，也只能有三到四个孩子。

而八个是什么数字?那是比1949年前还多的一个数字。也可能这些家庭比起1949年前，住房改善不大、食物够吃了但质量没好多少，但抗生素等类药品的普及确实使死婴现象少多了。1949年以前，一个农民家庭也能生很多孩子，但最终成活的只有一半强。所以虽然现在有计划生育的约束，农村人口还是猛增。

记者到陕西靖边采访时，发现那里的农民虽然被各种杂税弄得苦不堪言，而且土地日益干旱和荒漠化，生活很艰难，同样也生很多孩子。一个家庭有四五个孩子是很普通的，甚至是数量最少的。

一位女记者在山西大宁县一个很穷的山村金疙瘩村采访时，发现那里农民平均六个孩子。一个五六岁的小女孩告诉她，她有四个哥哥和一个妹妹。有人指着另一个红衣女孩说：“这孩子的父亲弟兄三个，每个都有六个孩子。”女记者了解到，金疙瘩村几乎没有三胎的，大多是五、六胎，最多的一家七胎，且大部分家中有二、三个男孩。

在连吃水都困难的地方，却要生那么多的孩子，他们一起向大地索要，于是大地更加贫困和病态。

贫穷、愚昧、受欺压，生孩子，这四者是紧密相联的。

Today，pollution has become a serious problem to us. It means that the air，seas，rivers and land are polluted by waste or poisonous things.

It does harm not only to human beings but also to animals .

We cannot have fresh air because many factories have the poisonous smoke sent into the air. Beautiful parks are made dirty by plastic tins and bags.

Fish die from the polluted water. It is said that strange diseases have appeared in some places because of pollution.

I hope scientists can find ways to solve the serious problem.

We are looking forward to seeing the clear sky，clean rivers and beautiful parks again.

Nowadays,with the rapid increase of population,the problems of overloading in cities is becoming more and more serious around the world.

For instance,the resources such as education,jobs,health care that a city can supply is limited.So more populations mean that everyone living in the city have less welfare.In addition,the phenomenon of pollution can also be aggravating.And the traffic jams will disturb drives frequently.

In order to deal with the problems caused by overloading,in my opinion,Lowering the birth rate is the essential methods.On the other hand,another way which is executable to reduce the pressure of population in cities is to move people from cities to suburban areas.Of course,this need the help of governments.

In a nutshell,it is time for us to make efforts to control the population timely.
