1. - The scene in the first picture can be seen in
a family with too many children. As can be seen
in this picture, this couple has 6 children, and
they live in an old mud—and—draw cottage
with nothing valuable.
- The scene in the second picture can be seen
in a poor town. As can be seen in the picture,
the people in this town seem to have a hard flfe
and live in very old houses. The people tend to
do manual work and some are unemployed.
2. The first picture tells us that tf we have a big
family, we may not support our children
properly and give them a good flfe and
education. The second picture indicates that
population explosion can lead to poverty and
unemployment.
3. It is not always true that the larger in
population a country is, the stronger it is. The
reason is that a large population can result in
poverty, environmental pollution, unemployed
and social evils, which will easily weaken a
country.
