Task 1 Read the text. Then write if the sentences are TRUE or FALSE❗ MORE AND MORE... Will there be food for everyone in the future? In 1800 the world's population was about one billion, but this increased very quickly in the next century. In 1950 there were about two and a half billion people, over six billion by 2000, and by 2008 there were nearly a billion more. 134 million babies are born each year, and some predict that nearly a third of those born today will live to be 100, and another quarter of those over 105. Scientists think that by 2040 there will be nine billion people on the planet. The population will grow fastest in Latin America, Asia, and especially Africa, but it will decrease in Europe. A lot of experts are worried, because they think there won't be sufficient food in the future, and that wealthier countries will become mean and aggressive when protecting their resources. But a few scientists are more positive. They think that people will have greater intelligence and knowledge in the future, and we will learn practical ways to grow more food. But we mustn't relax - we must act now❗ 1 There were about 7,000,000,000 people by 2000. 2 More than 177 billion babies today will live to be 100. 3 Scientists believe that by 2040 there will be 9,000,000,000 people on the planet. 4 The population will grow the most slowly in Europe. 5 Many scientists believe that in the future people will have greater intelligence and knowledge in the future. 6 The text is mainly about the world's growing population❗помогитее
