Hunger has become a serious problem in many parts of the world.

The first cause of hunger is the fast growth of population. The earth is no longer able to fees its more than seven billion people. There is not enough land for growing food.

The change of climate also brings to the earth more weather-related disasters such as storms and droughts… They heavily destroy crops.

Wars are still happening. People are fighting, or running away from home. There’s nobody to work on the field or in the factory to produce food.

Technology is working hard to help solve part of this problem. In the future, we will have warning systems to reduce the loss from natural disasters. Low-cost means of transport will also be used to carry food to area-in-need.

Questions:

1. What is the first cause of hunger?
2. How can we reduce the loss from natural disasters in the future?
3. What disasters heavily destroy the crops?
4. What is the passage about?

 I like a lot of different actors, but my real favourites are Daniel Craig and Halle Berry.

Daniel Craig is British and he’s a really talented actor. He’s been in a lot of different kinds of films including action adventure, science fiction, and romantic drama, but he always gives an excellent performance. He was brilliant in Tomb Raider as Alex West, but my favourite film is Casino Royale.I think Daniel Craig is a fantastic James Bond.

    Halle Berry is American. She was a model, but then decided to become an actress. I like her because she’s beautiful. She’s a good actress and I think she has a great sense of humour. I’m not keen on some of her films, such as Catwoman,but her other films are excellent. My favourite is X-Men which is a science fiction film. She plays the main character Storm, who has the ability to change the weather.
