The large number of our population has become one of the most serious problems of our society. According to a recent survey of the National Bureau of Statistics there are more than 1.3 billion people in our country which account for about 1/5 of all the people in the world. The same survey also predicts that our population will grow quickly in the years to come.
Overpopulation has brought about a series of negative effects to our economic development and social security. In the first place too many people impose a heavy burden on our environment. As a result we suffer from a shortage of fresh water and natural resources. In the second place as the supply of labor greatly exceeds the demand of the society many people become employed. This is a source of social unrest. Last but not least we have to manufacture all kinds of products to meet the needs of the people which causes environment pollution to our lakes and land.
Serious though the problem seems we have to take some measures to tackle it. On the one hand the government should carry out more strictly the policy of family planning thus reducing the total number of population. On the other hand all the people should realize the harms of overpopulation. With the concerted efforts of all the parties concerned we’re sure to solve the problem in the future.
Which is more important health or wealth? When given this question different people have varied answers. Some insist that health plays a more important role in our life while others see more advantages arising from wealth.
The first group of people quote the old saying "Health is above wealth" to prove their idea. They argue that on the one hand a strong person can do almost anything as long as he/she tries hard. On the other hand however rich people will not be able to enjoy the wealth if their days are numbered.
In contrast the advocates of wealth have such arguments as follows. For one thing wealthy people will be able to buy more healthful foods. For another they can enjoy better facilities to improve their health. (Take my neighbor Lao Wang as an example. He had a heart attack and is in hospital. However he cannot afford the expensive operation which costs as much as 100000 yuan. Therefore he has to lie in bed hopelessly. If he were a rich man his life could be saved.) (括号中的'部分同学们自己可以在别的文章中发挥。)
As far as I am concerned both health and wealth are important to our life. We should try to strike a balance between them and gain wealth with a healthy body.
