              Jellyfish are not really fish. They are invertebrate animals. This means that unlike fish or

people, they have no backbones. In fact, they have no bones at all.

Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths, but no heads. They have nervous systems for

sensing the world around them, but no brains. They are made almost entirely of water, which

is why you can look through them.

             Some jellyfish can glow in darkness by making their own light. The light is made by a

chemical reaction inside the jellyfish. Scientists believe jellyfish glow for several reasons. For

example, they may glow to scare away predators or to attract animals they like to eat.

Most jellyfish live in salt water, apart from a few types that live in fresh water. Jellyfish

are found in oceans and seas all over the world. They live in warm, tropical seas and in icy

Report Text

By the year 2000 young people who are now going to Secondary school will have grown up; most of them will probably have become parents who have responsible positions in the community. Babies born this year will go to Secondary Schools or will have become school drops – out. The Indonesian population will have increased by 130 million, making the total number 280 million. But if parents today follow the family planning programme, the population increase will be much less. Mainland China by the year 2000 will have population 0f 1.4 billion people, which is increase of 600 million people within a time span of about 25 years. India will probably have 1.1 billion people in the year 2000; this means that there will be an increase of 480 million if the birth rate remains as it is now.
According to records, in 1968 about two thirds of the world’s population lived in less developed areas and only one-third in the more developed areas. By the year 2000 there is a strong possibility that the population in less developed areas will have increased to 77% and that the population in the more developed areas will be only 23% of the world’s total. It is estimated that South Asia’s population will have doubled from 1.126 billion to 2.302 billion.
