1 Quickly read the text. What do the photos show? Where are there more people?

The current population of the world is 7.814 billion. So where are all the 

people? Which countries have got a lot of people and which haven’t got 

very many? 

Population distribution is how many people are in a particular area. 

Some parts of the planet have got a lot of people, and others haven’t. 

For example, there are more than five times the amount of people in 

Japan than there are in Australia. 

For example, Australia’s population of 23.83 million, divided by the 

land area of 7,682,300 square kilometres gives a population density 

of 3.2 people per km 2 . 

In a small country with a lot of people, the population density is 

higher than in a big country with a lot of people. Macau has got a 

very high population density with 18,534 people per km 2 . Greenland 

has got a very low population density with 0.026 people per km 2 . 

So, why have some areas got a high population density? 

Factors that attract population 

■ a temperate climate 

Factors that discourage population 

■ an extreme climate

T 

oday, 375 million people are vegetarian: they 

don’t eat any meat or fish. And a lot of people 

eat less meat because of Meatless Mondays – 

this means that people promise no to eat meat 

or fish one day a week. But why is it a good thing? 

2 Meatless Mondays help people think about the 

planet and their diet. Meat production is bad for the 

environment. For example, farm animals produce more 

gas than a l the cars and planes in the world. And did you 

know that you need 1,600 litres of water to produce one 

burger? Also, a diet with a lot of meat is not good for your 

body. Some people think a diet with more vegetables and 

some fruit is a very good idea. 

3 Meatless Mondays are now popular in 40 countries. A 

lot of schools, universities, hospitals and even cities have 

Meatless Mondays. The idea to have one day without meat 

every week often starts with just one individual. Vancouver 

student Meghan Little is a vegan: she doesn’t eat any food 

from animals. This includes milk and cheese. Because of 

Meghan’s work, Mondays are now meat-free at her school 

and four other schools in North Vancouver. With Meatless 

Mondays, one person can make a big di ference to the 

lives of their family and friends, and to the planet. 

Cows, sheep and other 

farm animals produce 

more gas than all the cars 

and planes in the world.

Area: 1,220,813 km 2 

Three capital cities: Pretoria, Cape Town and 

Bloemfontein 

Johannesburg is the biggest city but it isn’t the 

capital city. 

11 official languages including Afrikaans, English 

and Zulu. 

Currency: the rand 

Sport: In South Africa, football, rugby and 

cricket are the three most popular sports. 

I live in Germany now, but I’m not from Germany. My mother is British and my father is Mexican, 

so I am half British and half Mexican. I speak English and Spanish. I love Mexico and the UK but 

they are very different. I think I have a Mexican stomach because my diet includes chillies and 

spicy food. My ears aren’t Mexican though, I think they are British because I think British pop 

music is great. 

C Jakob 

D Annie 

Is Italy an interesting country? Yes, it is. 

History 

There are lots of Roman ruins, for example the 

Colosseum and the city of Pompeii. There are 

also a lot of old buildings and museums to visit. 

Sights 

You can travel on a boat in Venice or see the 

leaning tower of Pisa. You can climb Mount 

Vesuvius volcano (don’t worry, it isn’t active at the 

moment!) or visit beaches on the Amalfi coast. 

Food 

Pasta, pizza, ice cream – it’s all delicious! 

I’m from Montreal in eastern Canada, so I’m 

Canadian. I speak English and French because they 

are both official languages in Canada. We spend a 

lot of time outside. In the summer we go camping. 

We stay by a lake so we do water sports, go walking 

or ride our bikes. In winter the weather is very cold. 

There is a lot of snow but life isn’t boring. There are 

lots of winter sports like ice skating and skiing. The 

important thing is to have warm clothes.

POPULATION DISTRIBUTION AND 

POPULATION DENSITY AROUND THE WORLD 

The current population of the world is 7.814 billion. So where are all the 

people? Which countries have got a lot of people and which haven’t got 

very many? 

Population distribution is how many people are in a particular area. 

Some parts of the planet have got a lot of people, and others haven’t. 

For example, there are more than five times the amount of people in 

Japan than there are in Australia. 

For example, Australia’s population of 23.83 million, divided by the 

land area of 7,682,300 square kilometres gives a population density 

of 3.2 people per km 2 . 

In a small country with a lot of people, the population density is 

higher than in a big country with a lot of people. Macau has got a 

very high population density with 18,534 people per km 2 . Greenland 

has got a very low population density with 0.026 people per km 2 . 

So, why have some areas got a high population density? 

Factors that attract population 

■ 

■ 

■ 

a temperate climate 

flat, fertile land 

natural resources 

Factors that discourage population 

■ 

■ 

■ 

an extreme climate 

mountains 

thick forests and vegetation

3 Australia has got a high population density. T/F 

4 I n an area of high population density, there are a lot of people in a small area. T/F

4 7.814 billion 

5 18,534 

4 Work with a partner and discuss the questions. 

1 Where do most people in your country live? 

2 Which parts of your country have a high and low population density? 

Population density is the average 

number of people per square 

kilometre. It tells us if an area has got 

a lot of people or not. To calculate 

the population density of a place, we 

divide the population by the size of 

the place. Population density = total 

population ÷ area of land in km 2

UNUSUAL PETS 

Douglas, the UK 

I’ve got a crested gecko called Dawn. She’s green and I think she’s a 

beautiful lizard. Geckos are small and they are very friendly. Geckos 

grow to around 17–20 cm long. They are nocturnal and can be noisy 

at night, so Dawn doesn’t live in my bedroom. She has got a home 

called a vivarium with a special light and some plants in it. I buy special 

reptile food for her, but she also eats small insects.

4 Work with a partner and answer the questions. 

My pet is a tarantula. His name is Enrique, and he’s two years old. 

He’s got a hairy body and big legs. He’s about 14 cm long. Tarantulas 

are great pets. They are small, quiet and clean, and most are quite 

gentle. Enrique has got a warm tank to live in. Tarantulas eat insects, 

and I give Enrique one or two crickets a week. He’s an unusual and 

interesting pet. 

I’ve got two chinchillas. They are really cute, with their big, dark eyes 

and soft grey fur. Chinchillas are easy to look after because they are 

clean and quiet. Chinchillas can jump over one metre! They aren’t 

big animals – they are around 30 cm long – but they need a big cage. 

Chinchillas eat lots of hay, pieces of apple or other small sweet treats.

strange long nose. It lives in groups in the deserts of 

south-east Europe and central Asia. They can travel

1990s there were more than a million saigas, but by 

the year 2000 the population was less than 50,000.

The mountain gorilla is a large mammal. It lives in 

national parks in two regions of Africa. It’s got black 

fur and is very intelligent. In 1960 there were about 

500 gorillas in the Virunga mountains, but by the 

1970s the population was about 200. 

C (…) 

The saiga and the gorilla were both at risk of 

extinction. The reduction in habitat was a big 

problem: there wasn’t enough open space for 

the saiga and there was less forest for the gorilla. 

Hunting was also a serious problem. Some people 

kill gorillas or sell them. There weren’t any laws 

to stop this until 2008. Other people kill saigas 

for their horns.

The idea for the site came to Jenk when he 

was eight. Every Monday morning, his teacher 

asked about their weekend. He realised that he 

always did different things from his classmates. 

They sometimes saw a football or rugby match, 

but he went to musicals or other different events. 

His friends started to ask, ‘Can I come with you?’ 

Jenk’s mother decided to send them an email every 

week with ideas about what to do. Jenk presented 

the email as a school project, and the website grew 

from there. 

Jenk’s own hobbies are a big part of his 

research. In his free time, he records music and 

takes dance classes. He sings and plays four 

musical instruments well. He loves extreme 

sports; he’s been go-karting and sky-diving. He’s 

a big fan of fashion too. 

Jenk hasn’t written all the stories on his site. 

He has a team who help him, but he decides 

what’s cool. And he’s got big plans for the future. 

iCoolKid has between 1,000 and 2,000 hits a 

day, and he wants to increase that to a million. 

He also plans to go global and write articles for 

people around the world.
