Dear Dick,
How time flies! I have been back to school for two weeks. These days, I have known a lot about the population of China. China has a population of about 1. 37 billion. It has reached about one fifth of the world’s population. About 50 percent of the people live in the countryside. It causes many difficulties. In less developed areas, some parents prefer boys to girls. Not all the families can offer their children a good education. Some children can’t go to school. China has tried to control the population. The large population problem is still serious in China though we have had a more comfortable life. How about the population of your country? Can you tell me about it?
Yours,
Maria

Problems Caused by the Increasing Population
Nowadays, the population of the world is becoming larger and larger. With the increase of the population of the world, there are more and more problems. First, there is less and less food for everyone to eat. So some people in poor areas will even die of hunger. Second, the cities become bigger and bigger, and more and more people have their own cars. This causes much more air pollution and noise pollution. Third, there is less and less energy for people to use. So we should try our best to control the increase of the population. Then we will have a happier life.
