energy use per person in the future. (3) [sample answer] Graph (A) shows that the world population has increased rapidly, especially since the 1950s, and will continue to grow. At the same time, Graph (B) shows that energy consumption per person is also increasing and is expected to rise even more in the future. This means that as more people are born and each person uses more energy, we will need a lot more energy overall. This could lead to serious problems, such as energy shortages, pollution, and climate change. Another challenge is finding ways to produce energy in a clean and sustainable way. If we keep using fossil fuels, the environment will suffer. Therefore, I think governments and scientists need to work on developing renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. In conclusion, the main challenge is how to support a growing population's needs without harming the planet. Script Anchor: Good morning, and welcome to our special report. I’m John Smith. Today, we’re taking a closer look at an important moment - the world’s population has just reached over 8 billion people. But with proj ec t ions showing this number continuing to rise, it’s crucial we address the genuine challenges ahead. As our cities grow larger, we’re facing overcrowding and strain on essential services like healthcare and education. It’s becoming harder for everyone to access the support they need, and with the global population projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, this challenge is only going to grow. Not only that, but our planet is also feeling the strain. Pollution is on the rise, and deforestation is happening at an alarming rate. These actions are impacting our climate and biodiversity, threatening the very ecosystems that sustain us. But amidst these challenges, there’s hope. Experts emphasize the need for genuine population policies that empower families to plan how many children they will have and educate everyone on sustainable resource use. By taking steps now, we can create a world where everyone has access to the resources they need for a healthy, prosperous life. Thank you for joining us for this important discussion. Wrap Up pp. 58~59 A. • Americans — central / features / individual • East Asians — surrounding / broader / holistic Script W: A study explored how cultural differences affect the way people view their surroundings. A train moved past, its whistle ringing through the countryside. American participants in the study focused solely on the train, its details absorbing their attention. In contrast, East Asians looked back and forth, taking in both the train and the surrounding landscape. This simple difference in eye movement revealed a cultural divide in how they viewed information. Americans concentrated on the central object, analyzing its specific features. Meanwhile, East Asians, taking a broader view, understood the larger context of the scene. B. 1. ⓒ 2. [sample answer] While cultural differences offer valuable perspectives, the statement “I cannot think of anything negative about cultural differences” overlooks potential drawbacks. These include the risk of conflict due to misunderstandings, perpetuation of inequality, and overlooking harmful practices within cultures. Therefore, a more balanced perspective is essential, acknowledging both the benefits and limitations of cultural diversity.
