Translated:
Famine has become a serious problem in many parts of the world. The first cause of hunger was rapid population growth. The earth can no longer provide enough food for more than 7 billion people. There is not enough land for growing food.
Climate change also brings to the earth weather-related disasters such as hurricanes and droughts… These disasters destroy crops heavily.
The war is still going on. People fight or run away from home. No one works in the fields or in the factories to produce food.
Technology is working hard to help solve this part of the problem. In the future, we will have a warning system to minimize loss from natural disasters. People will also use low-cost means of transport to bring food to areas in need.
1. Drought is an example of weather-related disasters.
2. One result of war is that people cannot produce food.
3. Famine can be solved with the help of technology.

5. Practice Task 1
Choose the best options to answer the following questions.
It took hundreds of thousands of years for the world population to grow to 1 billion. However, in just another two centuries, it grew sevenfold. You know, in 2011, the total population of the world reached 7 billion. And today, it’s about 7.5 billion. Tokyo, with 37.8 million residents, continues to be the largest city in the world in terms of population.
Advances in modern medicine are the main cause of this dramatic growth in the world population. It helps the birth rates increase and the death rates decline. The second contributor is the improvement in living standards. This leads to the rise of global lifespan, from 64.8 years in the early 1990s to 70.0 years today. Last but not least, the number of women of reproductive age is increasing day by day.
However, the rapid population growth can lead to the shortage in medical and educational facilities and services. The population grows fast compared to the demand for energy also increases. Therefore, energy shortages are also a big problem. In addition, air, water and land pollution caused by growing population in big cities has bad effects on people’s health.
