Task 1 6.0
The table compares the population proportions and distributions in six distinct regional areas
of the world in 1950, 2000, and projected totals for 2050.
Overall, from 1950 to 2000, the world's population more than doubled, and by 2050, it is
predicted to continue to grow. In addition, it is fairly obvious that while the population of
people in Asia and Africa is expected to increase, the population of people in Europe and
North America will decrease.

Between 1950 and 2000, the global population rose significantly, from 2.5 billion to 6.0
billion. Meanwhile, the predicted growth is expected to slow until 2050, when it is
anticipated to reach 9 billion. In terms of distribution, over 50% of the world's population has
always been concentrated in Asia, with only a few minor changes from 56% in 1950 to 60%
in 2000. In contrast, by 2050, the rate is predicted to decline by 1%. The only exception is
Africa, where it is anticipated that the population will increase from 9% in 1950 to 20% in
2050, making it the second most populous region after Asia.

On the other hand, Europe's distribution experienced a sharp decline to 12% in 2000, which is
roughly twice as little as 22% in 1950. Additionally, it is projected that this downward trend
will continue, with a predicted distribution of 7% in 2050. In 1950, Latin America accounted
for 6% of the global population; this number increased to 9% in 2000, a minimal increase,
and is expected to remain constant by 2050. In North America, the population was only 7% in
1950, 5% in 2000, and is projected to slightly drop to 4% over the next 50 years. Lastly,
Oceania has had and will maintain the same population fraction of almost 1%.

Task 2: nghi vấ n gian lậ n

Fossil materials are being used more and more frequently in the modern world to advance
technology and improve lifestyle. However, some people think that instead of using fossil
fuels, world leaders should prioritize finding an alternative route. In my point of view, I agree
with this statement.

To commence with, burning fossils have enormous negative effects on the environment and
leave carbon footprints behind. Burning coal or oil releases a lot of carbon dioxide, which
contributes to air pollution, global warming, and ozone layer damage. For example, numerous
research has also found that the average global temperature could increase by as much as 4
degrees Celsius in the twenty-first century. These kinds of harm will have a direct impact on
people's lives, especially their health. One proof is that many industries in India are located
close to slum areas, which may be the reason why residents of those slum areas suffer from
heart disease, coughing fits, and other health issues.

Besides, fossil fuel plants harvest finite resources that will eventually run out. This makes it
the most expensive energy source today and will continue to be so until it becomes extinct.
Energy sources are undoubtedly essential to our existence; without them, food shortages and
unemployment rates will rise, and the economic effects of fuel shortages will make achieving
world peace all but impossible. In order to avoid further catastrophes, research is urgently
needed to develop viable renewable sources of energy like solar, wind, or nuclear power.
There is no waste, no pollutant; there is only pure energy. For instance, California is
recognized worldwide for transitioning its electricity system to one that relies increasingly on
clean sources of energy, such as solar, wind, and geothermal.

In conclusion, increasing the use of alternative clean and safe energy is urgently required to
preserve the health of our beautiful planet, as the effects of fossil fuels on global warming are
a highly challenging problem for our planet.
