solution.
There are several problems that raising number of people in undeveloped countries
causes. Firstly, it is very difficult to provide enough food for all people. Secondly, the
government limit the number of children per family to educate in the school. In
addition, in poorest countries usually have a lot of unemployment as well, and when the
population increase the number of unemployment increase. Finally, when too many

This essay covers the task and has a good content. However there are several areas
to improve. Grammar needs more attention (see comments underlined in blue).
First paragraph, last sentence – repetition of solve and solution, better say “can
find many solutions to those problems”. Third paragraph, last sentence – poor
structure, looks unfinished. Overall, looks like a Band 6 – 6.5 essay.
