Problems Caused by the Increasing Population
Nowadays，the population of the world is becoming larger and larger.As a result，there are more and more problems.
First，① there is less and less food for everyone to eat.So some people in poor areas will even die of hunger.② Second，① the cities become bigger and bigger，and more and more people have their own cars.③ This causes much more air pollution and noise pollution.Third，① there is less and less energy for people to use.
So we should try our best to control the increase of the population.④Then we will have a happier life.
【精彩点评】
①连接词first，second和third把人口增长带来的三方面的问题有序排列，条理清楚，逻辑性强。

②die of…意为“死于……”，揭示了人口增长带来的严重后果。

③bigger and bigger运用精彩，语言表达简洁而且到位。

本句陈述城市扩大和私家车增多，后一句则表明空气污染和噪音污染加重，文章层层递进，有理有据。

④连词so的运用使文章表达流畅，逻辑性强。

第二段罗列了人口增长造成的众多问题，末尾段则得出“我们应该努力控制人口增长”的结论，结构清晰。
