Dân số thế giới đang gia tăng ngày càng nhanh. Vào năm 10.000 trước công nguyên, thế giới có lẽ chỉ có khoảng 10 triệu người. Vảo năm thứ nhất sau công nguyên, có khoảng 300 triệu người. Phải mất 1750 năm sau thì dân số thế giới mới đạt đến mốc 625 triệu người. Vào năm 1850, chỉ cách 100 năm sau đó, dân số thế giới lên đến con số 1 tỉ 300 triệu người. Vào năm 1950, con số đó tăng lên gấp đôi, lên đến 2 tỉ 510 triệu người. Vào năm 1985, chỉ 35 năm sau, thế giới có 4 tỉ 760 triệu người. Vào năm 2000, dân số thế giới khoảng 6,6 tỉ và đến năm 2015 dân số thế giới có thể hơn 7 tỉ.
Liệu Trái đất có đủ nguồn tài nguyên để phục vụ cho số đông người như thế này không? Nhiều nhà khoa học đã đưa ra những câu trả lời khác nhau cho câu hỏi này. Một số cho rẳng có đủ tài nguyên để phục vụ cho 8 tỉ người, số khác nói rằng chúng ta phải hạn chế sự phát triển dân số vì nguồn tài nguyên có giới hạn. Chỉ 10% đất đai của thế giới có thể được sử dụng cho canh tác và 20 % dành cho chăn nuôi. Nguồn nước chúng ta có thể sử dụng cũng chỉ có giới hạn. Trữ lượng dầu hỏa, sắt, bạc, vàng và các kim loại khác cũng có giới hạn.
Việc nghiên cứu đã chỉ ra rằng phụ nữ ở Thế giới thứ ba có nhiều con hơn ý muốn. Trong số phụ nữ mà không nghĩ rằng mình có quá nhiều con, thì phần nửa không muốn có con nữa. Tuy nhiên, mặc dù hàng triệu phụ nữ muốn hạn chế việc sinh con, họ không biết cách an toàn nào để có con ít hơn. Những biện pháp hạn chế sinh đẻ an toàn để kế hoạch hóa gia đình thì không được phổ biến với họ. Đã đến lúc các chính phủ và các tổ chức quốc tế nên làm điều gì đó giúp họ để sự phát triển dân số
thế giới có thể bắt đầu giảm đi thay vì cứ tiếp tục tăng.

The dramatic growth of the world's population in the twentieth century was on a scale without parallel in human history.

Between 1950 and 1980 the world population increased from 2.5 to over 4 billion, and by the end of the twenty century the figure had risen to about 6.6 billion. Growth of this size cannot continue indefinitely. Recent forecasts suggest that the total population will level out at between 10 and 15 billion in the mid twenty first century. Already there are encouraging signs that the rate of increase in many less developed countries is beginning to slow down.

Study the chart carefully then write a paragraph of 100 - 120 words, describing the information in the chart.
The chart shows the distribution of world population by region. In general, it can be seen that the world's population is distributed unevenly in the world. The population rate in Asia is the highest of the four continents: 32% in South Asia, more than double the population of Europe 15%, and 26% in East Asia. Most countries in Asia are developing ones where people aren't often aware of the result of the population explosion. Many people can't support their children well and lead a poor life whereas in Europe, the population rate is 15% and 11% in Africa. Most countries in Europe are developed ones and people’s living conditions are much better than those in Asia and Africa, which have most poor people in the world. In America, the population rate is 14% - 8% in Latin America, where many people whose living standards are low, and 6% in Northern America, where there are many rich people. In the Oceanic regions, the number of residents is much lower and the population rate is only 2%.
