Nowadays, the population increase dramatically in most countries around the world. This is true for developed and developing nations. Overpopulation cause different number of problems. However, government can solved these problems by many solution.

There are several problems that raising number of people in undeveloped countries causes. Firstly, it is very difficult to provide enough food for all people.

In addition, in poorest countries usually have a lot of unemployment as well, and when the population increase the number of unemployment increase. Finally, when too many people live on the land, the environment suffers.

There are different problems that overpopulation causes in rich nations. Firstly, it is very difficult for governments to provide helpful public services in overcrowded cities. Moreover, there is generally a great deal more crime such as using drugs, killing people, steeling, and ect. Which that often because of high rates of unemployment.

However, overpopulation problems in both nations have two main solution which it deal by governments. Firstly, government must educate people to limit size of the family. For example, in China they have a policy call “one cild policy” which it is limit size of the family to have one or two children but that it is beginning to have an effect in the world’s most crowded nation.

This essay covers the task and has a good content. However there are several areas to improve. Grammar needs more attention (see comments underlined in blue). First paragraph, last sentence – repetition of solve and solution, better say “can find many solutions to those problems”. Third paragraph, last sentence – poor structure, looks unfinished. Overall, looks like a Band 6 – 6.5 essay.
