The Philippines has one of the fastest growing populatios in Southeast Asia. From having fifty million inhabitants in 1980, the Philippines today is home to around ninety-eight million people with 12 million living in Manila only. Manila, the Philippines capital, is one of the most overpopulated places on earth. There are few other areas where so many people live so closely together. On average there are 66,140 people per square kilometre, but in some slum regions there are as many as 90,000 people per square kilometre.

The world overpopulation is a growing and complex problem. But for the residents of Manila the result is quite simple. They are running out of space. Families live in home-made shacks built in cemeteries, or between railroad tracks or under bridges. They live wherever they can find some space. Even the city’s toxic garbage dumps are home to people who eat, sleep and live surrounded by rotting trash. With so many residens, the city’s resources are strained to the limit. Large parts of Manila’s 12 million residents lack clean drinking water, work, access to healthcare and education.

What was the population of the Philippines in 1980?

………………………………………………………………………….

  • How many inhabitants are there in Manila?

………………………………………………………………………….

  • What is the average density in Manila?

………………………………………………………………………….

  • Where do homeless people in Manila live?

………………………………………………………………………….

  • What do most of Manila’s residents lack?

………………………………………………………………………….

  • We prefer living in the countryside because it has fewer population than the city.

A                                       B                       C                                     bD

  • Their children have never been given new clothes before, haven’t they?

A                                  B                           C                           D

  1. There are more opportunities to find jobs in Hong Kong as in Bangkok.

A                        B                    C                                    D

  1. Your uncle works in Ha Noi for one year and then moved to Da Nang, didn’t he?

5. There used to be less unemployed people in this city five years ago.

A                B                                                       C                     D

Using the word given and other words, complete the second sentence so that it has similar meaning to the first. Do not change the word given.
