Task 3: Translate

1) Eksperdid hindavad, et meid on 10 miljardit selle sajandi lõpuks. 

2) Rohkem kui 2 miljonit aastat inimesed elasid püsiva elukohata leides taimi söömiseks ja küttides loomi liha jaoks. 

3) 10,000 aastat tagasi inimesed leiutasid põllumajanduse. 

4) Sel ajal elas ainult 5 miljonit inimest, aga see arv kiiresti kahekordistus. 

5) Elanikkond jõudis miljardini 1805 ja sellest ajast on see suurenenud 7 korda. 

6) Sada aastat tagasi kui sa läksid teise riiki, siis sa avastasid täiesti teistsuguse kultuuri. 

7) Tänapäeval on kasutusel umbes 7,000 keelt, aga see arv on vähenemas. 

8) Näiteks Indonesias räägitakse üle 700 keele, aga Baras keelt oskavad tänapäeval ainult vanad inimesed. 

9) Ekperdid arvavad, et keelte arv väheneb poole võrra selle sajandi lõpuks.

10) Me mõtleme, et kas tulevikus inimesed räägivad ainult ühte keelt ja enam pole kultuurilisi erinevusi, mis meid eristaks. 

11) Loodetavasti, kui meie rahvaarv on kasvamas, me ikka saame tähistada mitte ainult sarnasusi, aga ka inimrassi imelist mitmekesisust.
