Task 1: 6.5 (~7.0)
The given graphs show the proportion of population and distribution
in six various regions in the globe and the anticipated figures in 2050.

Overall, it can be apparently seen that Europe and North America

underwent a decline in population while the reverse was true for the
remaining nations. The least noticeable population growth was
registered in Oceania.

After 50 years commencing 1950, the global population increased

exponentially by a factor of 2.4 from 2.5, and is estimated to reach 9
billion people by 2050.

Turning to regional distribution, Asia took up the largest figure, at

56% in 1950, and slightly rose by 4% in 2000. In similar fashion, Africa
witnessed a one-third growth from 9% over the same period. The Asian
are projected to make up roughly three-fifths of the total world
population in 2050, which triples that figure of the African. The
population of Europe registered a dramatic decline of 10% from 22, and
is expected to fall to 7% in 2050. Other countries including Latin
America, North America and Oceania showed hardly any remarkable
fluctuations in population, with the forecasted figure in 2050 9%, 4%
and 1% respectively.
Task 2: 7.0 (~6.5)
In the contemporary world, there has been much discussion revolving around the
issue of whether we should prioritize finding environmentally-friendly energy
resources as substitute for fossil fuels. Personally, I am in favour of that idea.

Compelling arguments can be made that excessive consumption of fossil fuels

should be banned -TR. First and foremost, burning fossil fuels has an adverse
effect on individuals and habitats. To be more specific, it causes irreversible
damage to the environment, specifically the air by releasing a great deal of gas
and toxic chemicals namely CO2, monoxide. As a result, every living creatures,
once surrounded by bad quality air, is prone to respiratory diseases and breathing
issues. Additionally, fossil fuels are the push factors to climate change. Being a
non-renewable source of energy, it is used for heating to produce carbon,
therefore contributing to the greenhouse effect. Evidently, this has resulted in
catastrophic weather events and rising sea levels for the last century. +LR

+TR Admittedly, there are various global priorities that we need to take into
consideration such as: poverty, education, disease. However, the consequence of
using fossil fuels directly deteriorates inhabitants, the environment and the future
on a large scale while health is of the utmost importance to individual life +TR.
Hence, the authorities and global leaders should find alternate techniques –TR to
fossil fuels.

In conclusion, due to its pernicious effect on human beings and habitats, it is

recommended to seek for innovative method for fossil fuels.
