5. What are the possible problems of having large numbers of people at public
events?
Well, a lot of things could happen when large crowds of people get together like that. First, a
lot of pickpockets (= thieves) might take advantage of the situation to steal wallets, purses and
mobile phones from the pedestrians (= walkers). Every year after Spring Festival, we always read
about the great number of thieves that were arrested by the police. It is very important for the
police force to provide security in the streets. Some people might get mad (= angry), or even
violent during big events. In addition, if there are (way) too many people in the streets, people
could get pushed or even crushed. It might well be dangerous for children as well.
