Is It a Good Idea to Control Population Growth in the World?

Text

What Overpopulation Feels Like

We moved slowly through the city in a taxi and entered a crowded slum district(1). The temperature was well over 100(2) and the air was thick with dust and smoke. The streets people sleeping. People visiting each other, arguing and screaming. People pushing their hands through the taxi windows, begging. People relieving themselves. People holding on to the sides of buses. (3) people leading animals people, people , people, people. As we drove slowly through the crowd, sounding the taxi's horn, the dust, heat, noise and get to our hotel? All three of us were, I admit, frightened Since that night, I've

known what overpopulation feels like (4).

Statistics show that rapid population growth creates problems for developing countries. So why don't people have fewer children? Statistics from the developed countries suggest that it is only when people's living standards begin to rise that birth rates begin to fall(5). There are good reasons fro this. Poor countries cannot afford social services and old age pensions, and people's incomes are so low they have nothing to spare for savings(6). As a result, people look to their children to provide them with security in their old age(7). Having a large family can be a form of insurance. And even while they are still quite young, children can do a lot of useful jobs on a small farm. So poor people in a developing country will need to see clear signs of much better conditions ahead before they will think of having smaller families (8). But their conditions cannot be improved unless there is a reduction in the rate at which population is increasing. This will depend on a very much wider acceptance of family planning(9) and this, n turn, will

mean basic changes in attitudes.(10)

II. Read

Read the following passages. Underline the important viewpoints while reading.

1.Childless - and Happy That Way

In a country where most people believe that a family Is not a family without children, some young couple, especially those with a higher education, have chosen to keep their families to two

members-husband and wife.

"I can't afford to have a child," said Wang, a promising research fellow with the Chinese Academy of

Social Sciences.

Wang has been busy traveling abroad and has received scholarship offers from a number of American universities that would enable him to complete his PhD.

"He is a free bird who may leave the nest any day and I've never cared much about a child," said Xiao Wei, Wang's wife, business representative of a French company in Beijing.

Unlike the Wangs, Zhang and his wife have argued over whether they should have a baby.

"When we were married six years ago, we decided to adopt a wait-and-see attitude on the issue. And after a couple of years, my wife said she wanted to have a baby while I insisted we were just fine without one. We have been arguing about the matter ever since, and now that we are over 30, I think we're likely to end up in accordance with my wishes," said Zhang.

"There are many marriages that should have long been broken. People just hold on because a divorce would hurt the children most and the parents hate to face that prospect. So the couple sticks together and

winds up torturing each other.

"A real happy family is a family that, without children, is still a happy family." Said Zhang.

Ma Jiang, who has opened a trading company and was instantly nicknamed Money Bags by his

friends, said he would hate to be bothered with a child.

"To me, being without a child, I am less bound by household chores and can concentrate on my business. My lovely wife is all I need, no third person," he said.

Ma's wife, Xiao Lu, working for a government unit, could have quit her job and become dependent on

the "rich" husband. But she decided against it.

"I can't imagine what I would be like if I stayed at home, doing household chores and breast-feeding a child. I'd rather keep my independence at all costs", she said.

"Whatever people say, I believe that to have a child means a lot of sacrifice. We're just not ready for

that, fun or misery," Ma's wife said.

Hou Mingkun and his wife Luo Qian said they weren't against having a child, boy or girl, if only the

baby was physically well developed.

"One takes a risk when having a baby. I've heard too many stories abut children born with physical defects. Since there's no guarantee that the same won't happen to my baby. I think I'd better not get myself involved. People say 'no pain, no gain,' but for me it's no gain, no pain," Luo said.

The couple were classmates in high school and went to the same university in Shanghai. Now, they

are working fro a computer company in Beijing.

Those who choose not to have children have to overcome some unexpected difficulties in defending

their stance.

Influenced by the traditional view that one's worst sin is having no descendants, most people still accept that a wife is not a good wife if she doesn't have a child.

Though few Chinese believe in an after-life, they do care a lot about growing old. For centuries, one of the purposes of having children, sons especially, was to have someone take care of the parents when

they were old.

"Now, since both husband and wife are working, they will have a pension when they retire. What happens now is that the retired parents are supporting their adult children,:" Wang said.

"We're normal people, just like everyone else, We've just chosen to live our own which harms no one.

I hope people understand us," Wang said.

2. Three Babies Are Born Every Second

There are over 3,800 million people in the world today, and the total is increasing at the rate of more than 76 million a year. United Nations experts have calculated that it could be more than 7,000 million by

the end of this century.

The population is growing more quickly in some parts of he world then others. The continents with the fastest growth rates are Latin America (2.9 per cent) and Africa (2.6 per cent). Asia comes third (2.1 per cent) but because its present population is so large it is there that by far the greatest number of people

will be added before the end of the century.

3. Population Increase Has Wiped out the Material Benefits People Have

Achieved

Matthew: Sarah, is there a need to control population only in countries like India, Africa, Brazil ... those countries that we call the underdeveloped countries, or is there a case for limiting population in Europe,

for instance?

Sarah: The reason one would have to limit population is because you're running out of food and you're running out of resources. The people in Europe and America consume a far greater proportion of the world's resources and the world's food than they do in India. So ... um ... population is directly related to ... um... consumption and your general impact on the environment. If as an individual your impact is far greater then anybody else's, um...then that is the factor that's important, rater than how many people there are., or how many people can the world support. Now it's ...obviously in that sense, it's possible to increase population if everybody's willing to un... use less material or eat less food, but it isn't if everybody's continually wanting more and more and more, and this is ...seems to be the trend at the moment...higher and higher consumption.. with at the same time a greatly expanding population. And the problem in ... um ...areas which are poor and which have expanding populations is that they try and develop and try and... er ...get...er...more material benefits, but as soon as they do this, the population increase has wiped out any benefits that they may have um...achieved.

Matthew: But do you feel that this battle with a ...a rapidly expanding population can be won?

Sarah: The most sensible thing is to realize that you can't go on expanding human populations for ever and countries and individuals must decide to have a policy which would limit population.

4. An African Woman Says: "...the Men Never Talk about It."

"To us, children are the most important thing in life. When we marry, it is not above all to get a husband or wife, but to have children. I had my thirteenth birth only a few months ago, and most of my adult life I have had to care for a baby as well as do all my other work in the house and in the fields. For a long time I have wanted no more children, but I keep having them as long as I am with my husband. A nurse comes to visit our village regularly. She holds meetings for all the men and women together, to explain abut family planning. Now these are well. Known facts to us, but still nobody in our village practices birth control. When we sit together with the nurse, everybody seems to agree that this is the right thing to do when a family had grown big enough to give the parents security in their old age, and there are enough hands to attend to all the daily work. But when we go home, the men never talk about it.

my husband and I attend every meeting, but in our home we have never talked about birth control. I desperately want to stop having more children, but this can only be done if my husband suggests it."

5. Free Birth Control Techniques

Should Be Available Everywhere

Matthew: Peter, what sections of the population do you think free birth control techniques should be

available to?

Peter: They should be ...available to all sections of the community er...things are getting to such a pitch that I personally think that ...er...not only should birth control methods be available to all sections of the community, but indeed should be compulsory. There should be some kind of law which says that a family should not have more than three children, a complete maximum of three children, if they have three children then they must be obliged by law, almost, to use birth control, if not have er...various kinds of operation which ...um...make conception impossible.

Matthew: But surely this very er...explosive in social terms?

Peter: It's very ...it's a very totalitarian notion, but the alternative...if we look around us in the world outside is millions of people starving to death in places like India, and people suffering from malnutrition in...in other parts of the underdeveloped wor...world and indeed even in parts of the dev...so called

developed world.

6. It's a World Problem

The rapid rise in world population is out creating problems only for the developing countries. The whole world faces the problem that raw materials are being used to up at an increasing rate and food production cannot keep up with the population increase. People in the rich countries make the heaviest demands on the world's resources, its food, fuel and land, and cause the most pollution. A baby in the United States will use in his lifetime 30 times more of the world's resources than a baby born in India. Unless all the countries of the world take united action to deal with the population explosion there will be more and more people fighting for a share of less and less land, food and fuel, and the future will bring

poverty, misery and war to us all.

7. What Has Caused the Population Explosion?

The main reason is not so much a rise in birth rates as a fall in death rates as a result of improvements in public health services and become parents, and many more adults are living into old age so that populations are being added to at both ends. In Europe and America the death rate began to fall during the Industrial Revolution. In the developing countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America the fall in death rate did not begin till much later and the birth rate has only recently begun to fall.

8. "The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Bagies..."

This sudden increase in the population of the developing countries has come at a difficult time. Even if their population had not grown so fast they would have been facing a desperate struggle to bring the standard of living of their people up to the point at which there was enough food, housing , education, medical care and employment for everyone to have a reasonable life. The poor countries are having to run faster and faster in their economic activity in order to stay in the same place, and the gap in wealth between rich and poor countries grows wider every year.

The most pressing problem created by the rapid increase in population is a shortage of food. More mouths have to be fed every year, and yet a high proportion of the existing population are not getting enough of the right kind of food. Over the past two years the total amount of food has decreased, and of course the total amount of food per person has decreased even more sharply.

More and more of the babies born in developing countries have been surviving infancy and now nearly half the people living in those countries are under the age of 15. the adults have to work harder than ever to provide for the needs of the children, who cannot contributed to the economy until they are older. There is a shortage of schools and teachers, and there are not enough hospitals, doctors and nurses. Farming land is becoming scarce, so country people are moving to the towns and cities in the hope of finding a better standard of living. But the cities have not been able to provide housing, and the newcomers live in crowded slums. Finally, there are too few jobs and unemployment leads to further

poverty.

III. Consider

Is it a good idea to control the world's population growth?

Arguments

1. The rapid rise in world population is creating problems for all countries on earth because there

simply aren't enough resources.

2. Both rich and poor countries of the world should take united action to deal with the population explosion. Otherwise, there will be more people fighting for less land and fewer resources, and the future

will bring poverty, misery and war to us all.

3. Population increase in developing countries has wiped out the material benefits that they have

achieved.

4. Statistics show that where the population rate is high, people's living standards are low. This means, people's living conditions cannot improve unless there is a reduction in the increased rate of population.

5. In modern times, a family with few children, or even with no household chores and concentrate more on their own interests, and their children enjoy better material and educational opportunities than those in

bigger families.

6. With fewer children in a family, parents spend less time on household chores and concentrate more on their own interests, and their children enjoy better material and educational opportunities than those in

bigger families.

7. The most pressing problem created by the rapid increase in population is a shortage of food. At present a large proportion of the existing population is not getting enough of the right kind of food (e. g.

people in India, Ethiopia, etc...)

8. Overpopulation creates a shortage of schools, teachers, hospitals and doctors.

9. Overpopulation causes problems in housing and employment, especially in cities.

10. Just imagine how much better life would be if the world population were cut by half!

Counter-arguments

1. More children, more happiness. This is especially true for elderly people who all love children.

2. People in agricultural areas need more children to help them with the work in the fields.

3. Whether to have children or not is a private matter and nobody should interfere with it.

4. It is unfair to blame all the problems on the increase in population. It is those greedy manufacturers and businessmen in developed countries that make the heaviest demands on the world's resources and

cause the most pollution

5. If population control were a must, it should be carried out in developed countries as well because a baby born in the U. S. will use in his lifetime 30 times more of the world's resources than a baby born in

India.

6. Children are the most important thing in life. With fewer children around, life will be dull, meaningless

and unhappy. It is incredible for a couple to have no children at all.

7. Children in a family give the parents a sense of responsibility and pride. They are very important to

the stability of a family.

8. population control does greater harm than we realize. For instance, if the one child policy is still in

practice in 100 years, people then will have little idea of kinship ties, for most of them will have no

brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, or cousins.

9. With the government's family planning policy in operation we now have a generation of "only child"

families: most of them are arrogant, selfish, and spoilt.

10. A big family offers children a chance to learn how to cope with and care for other people.

11. Children in big families have the chance to compete with each other, in terms of their manners at home, their study at school, their performance at their place of work, etc. older children usually have a

great influence on the younger.

Questions

1. Do you think it is necessary to control population? Why (Why not)?

2. How many children would you like to have if you were free to make the decision? Why?

3. What measures do you think should be taken to control China's population?

IV. Write

Work out an outline own viewpoints. The outline should consist of major statements and supporting evidence and examples. Do not write down every word of your speech.

V. Speak

1. Speak according to your outline, or give spontaneous speeches when you disagree with your

classmates or when you want to support your own group with similar opinions.

2. Language devices: You are expected to extend to extend your ability to agree to disagree with other

people's opinions and to ask them to explain their points of view.

That's a good point

Absolutely right

I agree entirely

That's how I see it

I'd go along with you there

I'm not sure you're right there

I suppose you could say that, but...

Perhaps, but don't you think that...

Mmm, I am not really sure you're right.

All I am trying to say is that...

VI. Sum up

1. The whole class decide on the best prepared speech and the best spontaneous speech.

2. The whole class pick out the most convincing statements from the arguments and

counter-arguments.

3. The teacher gives comments on student's ideas and language.

托福口语素材积累

1 早上学习还是下午学习 I prefer studying in the morning because when I just get up, I have a clear and fresh mind. It is easier for me to be more focused. However, if I study in the afternoon, I would feel sleepy and tired. Last time, our professional assigned us to write a paper in one week about ten pages. Every morning I got up very early like six o’clock and I begin to work on my paper. I just really got high e fficiency writing the paper because I could totally concentrate on my paper. and then it only took me several days to finish my paper on time. What’s more, if I study in the morning then I can use the afternoon time to do other thing s like, doing sports, going out with friends, reading books and so on. It is a good way to use time. 2. 图书馆，家还是宿舍 I prefer studying in the library because in a library I can check some reference books when I am writing my paper. And, to be honest, when I studying at home or dormitory, it just seems so easy for me to get distracted. Like, I remember last time when was I was about to write a paper. I just went to the school library, it's very convenient for me to check reference books and journals. It provided me great convenience to write my paper. What’s more, I think the library is very quiet, no one can talk or walk around. I can totally keep my eyes on the ball. That’s why I prefer studying in the library. 3.speak out还是quietly observe in the class I prefer to speak out in class because my problems can be solved immediately if I can communicate with the professor directly. However, if I observe quietly, I guess it would be much easier for me to get distracted and forget my problems after class. Now, I am a university student who majors in business management. And I take different courses, like business management, counting, marketing and so on. In the class, every time when I have some problems, I will raise my hands waiting to be caught to raise my questions because my professor can help mu solve the problems immediately. It’s very efficient. It can help me understand the whole class. So that’s why I think speaking out in class is much better. 4. work in the group or alone I prefer to work in a group because we can solve the problem together. However, if I work alone, I guess it would be much easier for me to get distracted. I remember, last time, our professional assigned us to write a paper in one week about ten pages. I decided to write a paper with my partner. During the process, we can do a lot of things together, like searching for information, finding the topic, writing the outline and something like that. We could get high efficiency in writing our papers and when we encounter some problems, we can solve them together. See, that’s why I prefer to working in a group. 5把暑假分开 Disagree. Because it is a waste of time. I mean I can’t use the whole summer to do things I enjoy. Last summer vacation, I had a two-month holiday. I could use the time to travel to different palces. Like, I went to Hongkong, I spent about 15 days there. During the process, I did a lot of things to know better about the city and people there, such as visiting museums, eating local foods, visiting the Disney land and so on. However, if I had shorter breaks throughout the year in summer vacation, I can’t do those things. 6本国室友还是外国室友 I prefer to have a roommate from my own country because it is easier for us to get along well. I mean we have a lot in common. However, if I have a foreign roommate, it may be not easier for us to understand each other well because we have some cultural differences. For example, now I study in Beijing far away from my hometown and I live with my roommates. We come from the same country. So it is easier to communicate with each other. Like last week, the toffee test example. In our own language; understand me well; encourage me. 7成功靠天赋还是努力 I believe that people can achieve success through hard work because practice makes perfect. However, natural talent can be wasted. Taking me as an example. Public speaking example 8成功要读大学吗 I agree with the statement…because college education is very important. It can let you learn a lot of knowledge and make friends with

托福口语第一题

新托福口语有许多新特性，就托福口语第一题是大家备考托福口语中的一个难点之一，在开始复习托福口语之前，跟随360教育集团金牌留学顾问老师先来了解一下托福口语第一题的四种题型分别是哪些。 第一类托福口语第一题： Describe the famous person you admire most. Explain why you admire this person. Include details and examples to support your response. （TOFEL ibt 08.06.22）这是一个对人描述类的考题，我们拿到一个新托福口语题目后，脑海中应该立刻浮现出最基本的答题框架：topic sentence + supporting ideas. Topic sentence是比较容易想的，甚至是可以虚构的，所以问题就落在supporting ideas的思路上。 描述一个人，最容易的角度便是这个人内在的qualities. 如：humorous， open-minded， easy-going，warm-hearted， community-minded， high driven， visionary， knowledgeable…有了这些点之后，我们要想办法把点变成线，也就是把一个观点扩充成一到两个句子。 我们可以用描述的方法去讲这个观点同意转换，如‘he’s a very open-minded person and he’s always flexible to changes. 同时我们还可以用举例的方法来进行扩展，如‘He’s a high-driven guy and he worked so hard on his Toefl test， study almost 24/7.’ 第二类托福口语第一题： Choose an object you like and explain why it is of special value to you. Please include specific examples and details in your explanation. （TOFEL ibt 08.02.24），这道托福口语题属于物品题，物品的题目也是一个常考点，但是准备的面比较广，可能会出成： a type of pet （Longman p.52），a kind of game （Longman p.72），your important gift （Longman p.64），咱们可以从两个角度去答题：对物品本身的简单描述+ 物品的来源或是重要意义，如描述宠物可以说：‘ coz he keeps me company， when I was sad， he was always by my side.’又如描述礼物可以说：‘ The psp was a gift from my Grandpa， it was a credit to my hard work on the SAT test.’ 第三类托福口语第一题： If you could live abroad， where would you go？ Explain why you would go there. （Longman p.42）。地方题目也是常考题型，变换方式相对较少，比如有：the city you live （Longman p.31），a city you have always wanted to go （TOFEL ibt 08.02.02），your favorite place when you were a child （TOFEL ibt 08.03.08）等等。地点题的答题思路为：景色，饮食，高雅休闲场所，教育，就业机会。 如果说美国，景色可以描述national park， the beauty of nature well preserved，饮食可以说dessert， I’ve got a sweet tooth，如说高雅休闲场所，可以说Broadway， or NBA games，教育可以谈美国的大学，就业机会可以谈美国的500 fortunes. 再比如如果讲苏州，景色可以说gardens，well preserved ancient building，就业机会可以讲讲苏州工业园，SIP，provides a lot of job and internship opportunities for graduates…

What charactereristics do you think a good teacher should have?（06. 3.3; 07. 11.3考题）

Sample answer： In my view, a good teacher should have different characteristics. First, a good teacher should be faithful and dedicated to the job. If a teacher is faithful to the job, then s/he never cheats and will be impartial（偏向）and students will respect such a teacher. If a teacher is dedicated towards his/her work, then s/he will teach with his/her heart. Another most important characteristic of a good teacher is patience. Teachers should never lose their patience in class when students ask questions repeatedly. A teacher should explain each and every aspect of the topic in the easiest way. Most of all, a good teacher should update his/her knowledge ‘cause further learning can make a good teacher re-discover the beauty of the teaching profession. 2. What are important characteristics you look for in friends?（06. 5.12; 06. 6.24; 07.1.27考题） Sample answer： I think what makes a good friend is someone who is honest, supportive, and has a good sense of humor. I just look for someone who's honest to me no matter what. He should not tell stories behind my back; he should tell me my short-comings at my mouth, but never praises me in front of me. It is a well known saying that "A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED." Therefore, a friend should stand by you in the hour of any sort of need. I just think that a good friend won't leave me if I'm in trouble. They can be my friends in sunshine and in shade, care for me even when the times are bad and even more when the times are great. Also, I'd love to spend more time with someone who can make me laugh and is fun to be around. 3. Describe a person that influenced you most.（06. 5.26; 06. 3. 17；06.10.22考题；与06.5.26类似） Sample answer： The person that really influenced me most was Ms. Xing---my college teacher who taught us English literature. Her class was quite different from the other teachers. In her class we were not expected to sit there and listen. We had to get more involved in the class activities, like discussions, comments or debates sometimes. Our creativity and imagination were developed enormously through the active participation. On the other hand, she let us think more about life by sharing her experiences and more importantly, she taught me how to live on my own. So that's why I was greatly influenced. Not only did she give me knowledge, but also she gave me courage and confidence as well.
