新標準初中英語九年級(下):UNIT2 Overpopulation

[00:01.55]People need basic necessities
[00:04.15]such as food,clothes and houses.
[00:08.52]This means that more of our natural resources
[00:11.87]like oil and coal are used
[00:14.98]up to produce these things.
[00:17.55]Also, more of our environment is destroyed
[00:21.59]to make space.
[00:23.76]For example, trees are cut down to make room
[00:27.56]for houses.
[00:29.64]If people do not have basic necessities,
[00:33.20]they become sick and diseases spread faster.
[00:37.19]People may also try to take resources
[00:40.67]from other countries near them
[00:43.03]and wars may start because of that.
[00:46.07]So, what can be done?
[00:48.89]We need to tell people about the problems
[00:51.60]of overpopulation.
[00:53.78]We need people to understand the connection
[00:57.48]between an increading population,
[01:00.22]the heavy use of natural resources,
[01:03.42]and more diseases happening.
