TOEFL® essay sample - overpopulation

[slovenia]

Can someone evaluate my essey? Please...
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

Families with fewer children should be rewarded for helping to prevent overpopulation.

Use reasons and specific examples to support your opinion.

Your Answer:
Not so long ago i heard a news on televison that families who have fewer children should be rewarded for helping to prevent ovepopulation. From my point this is rediculous and totaly nonsens. However i disagree with this statment and why is that so i will try to explain that to you in the remaining of my essay.
First of all i think that if this will come true to many married or not married couples will decide to not have any children at all. I know that this will sound kind of rediculous but i belive that this is one posible why that can lead to human extinction. I am person who is really interffired in public reactions when that kind of news comes out and from my own experients i know that people whoud doanything for some extra money.
Second of all i would prefer that the goverment should reward families who have five or more children and for that reason some help would be really wellcome. After all this kind of families are actually preventing the human extinction.
I belive that world has many unexplored things and thats why we need young people who will be capable to achive some of that goals. Sooner or later it will came the time when human beings will come to extinction, but i belive that we can slow this process a litlle bit down. Anyway, i hope that somewhere in the world there are people who have the same opinion like me.
