B: I’m all ears

A: Have you read the reports that many senior high school students give up the College entrance exam in our country?

reading books.

A: excellently, as I know, in the years 2050, the population will be 10 billion.

B: How terrible, there are too many people on the planet, and the overpopulation will cause many problems.

A: Of course, on the earth, resources are limited, fossil oil, coal and so on, will be used up some years later, if population increases.

B: Can’t agree more, it’s hard for the world to provide enough resources to meet so many people’s basic needs. More population, more resources consumed.

B: Ha, yeah, right, especially in our country, China, there are more than 1 billion people; it means that on earth five people, one is Chinese.

A: and resources are limited in our country. For example the farmland is

lack, which causes the great pressure of food.

B: How luck.

A: Yeah, I hope managers must do something to protect us students.

B: As I know, they are trying.
