PRESENT CONTINUOUS
1) Leia a passagem e coloque os diagramas em ordem.

In Japan, the average population is getting older. People are

living longer, and they are not having so many children. The
number of people who work is falling, but the number of retired
people is growing. This is having an effect on the economy, as
fewer people are paying taxes, while the number of people they
have to support is increasing. Why is this happening? People
are living to a very old age because medical care is improving,
and more women are joining the workforce, so they are waiting
longer to have a family and the birth rate is slowing.
