Tapescript

Interviewer: Good evening ladies and gentlemen. In our program tonight, we are honoured to have Dr. Brown, a world famous population expert. Dr. Brown, could you tell US something about the world population.

Dr. Brown : Well, there are over 6,700 million people in the world today, and the total is increasing at the rate of about 76 million a year. Experts say that population of the world could be over 7 billion by the year 2015.

Interviewer: Do all parts of the world have the same rate of population growth? 

Dr. Brown : No, they don’t. The population is growing more quickly in some parts of the world than others. Latin America ranks first, Africa second, and Asia third.

Interviewer: What is the main reason for the population explosion?

Dr. Brown :Well, I think the main reason is a fall in death rates. This is due to the improvement of the living conditions and medical care.

Interviewer: I believe the explosion of population has caused many problems. Is it right?

Dr. Brown :Yes, it is. It has caused a lot of problems such as shortage of foods, lack of hospitals and schools, illiteracy, and low living standards.

Interviewer: Can you make some suggestions on how to solve these problems?

Dr. Brown :I think, there are a number of solutions to the problems. The first is to educate people and make them aware of the danger of having more children. The second is to provide safe, inexpensive birth-control methods. The third is to strictly implement a family planning policy. And the fourth is to exercise strict and fair reward and punishment policies.

Interviewer: Thank you very much for being with us tonight.

Dr. Brown: You’re welcome.
