Another people thinks it not good due to some countries limit the population, if that have more young children, it will over limit. This essay will discuss the advantages and disadvantages about in some countries have the young people more than the old people.

One of advantages is increasing the population. In some countries support the family to have more children because that can increases the population in the future.

Furthermore, when they grow up, the unemployee problem will happen because the company can not receive everybody to get a job.

In conclusion, in some countries that have the young population more than the old population, the government should manage the education system. Moreover, they should prepare the plans for slowing unemployee problems which can happen in the future.


Examiner’s Comment

The response looks at some advantages and disadvantages of the topic, but does not reach any conclusion. As a result, there is a lack of overall progression, although organisation is evident and cohesive devices are used (though rather mechanically) [One of advantages | For example | Also | Another disadvantage | For instance]. The range of lexis is adequate for the task, however there are often spelling mistakes [contries | yonge | quilified] and errors in word choice or formation [chancing to improve | unemployee problem]. There are attempts to produce complex sentence forms, but there is a lack of grammatical control which can cause some difficulty for the reader [… due to some countries limit the population, if that have more young children it will over limit].
