Introduction:

   Overcrowding or crowding is the condition where more people gather together within the given space. Crowding may occur temporarily or regularly. Most crowded places like shrines, tourist spots and now even bus terminals look to be crowded.

Where is it?
  
    The crowded place I visited was the seashore. It's the area right next to the sea, where land meets the ocean, it is fi rocky or soft sands. Even though it is a wide place it seems crowded. People use it to relax themselves in the evenings and weekends. Some people spend their time at the seashore with their family members, some of them are with their friends and neighbours.

When did you go there?

   Usually I went to the seashore on the weekend and in the evening to relax myself with a pleasant view of the sea. Some of them come with their family members to enjoy their weekends and evenings. Some days it looks crowded and some days it looks not crowded. The sound of ocean waves puts my mind at ease and I enjoy the view.

With whom you went there.

  Sometimes I visit the beach with my family,but most of the time I spend with my college friends. We are a gang of 6 members. We gathered there to spend  time and have fun. We separated after college for our careers. We felt that we were missing the old days when we had lots of fun during our college days. We thought of recreating them so we gather there at weekends when we are free.

And explain how you felt about being  there.

  Though it looks crowded it feels good to be there with my friends. We had lots of fun, we spent nearly 3 hours there and we left after finishing our dinner in roadside food shops. Some of them were conscious of their safety measures while some did not even consider it.

Conclusion
   
   It feels good to spend time at the seashore, it feels much better when we are with our friends.in that minimum time they vanish our whole stress, they make our day a memorable one.

 I often go there with my mother to buy our needs. We buy some handcraft things which we keep in oru living room, like hanging flower pots, some hanging frames etc. They were so pretty at an affordable price.

Introduction:

 The crowded place also includes amusement parks. It is also called a theme park, with many rides and water games, it is the best place for friends to enjoy. Mechanised thrill rides attract people to come and visit the park, rides like roller coasters, flat rides etc are designed there for enjoyment. Even some small rides are there for children to enjoy themselves, even artificial falls, artificial wave filled oceans are there as water games.

Where is it?

I went to the theme park which is located near Poonamallee, named as queensland. It is one of the theme parks in chennai which has many rides. It cost around rupees  600 as entry fee, even though it is more costly, people go there to have fun for a day, most of the schools were taking their students to this theme park as a tour for them.

When did you go there?

I went there recently once I finished my college, to make a memorable day. It is a spacious park, even 500 people can occupy it at time. It seems uncrowded on weekdays but I went on the weekend so it looks as crowded. Some of them came with their family and some of them were with their friends.

With whom did you went there

I went there with my childhood friends. It is the best place to enjoy a lot with my friends. We enjoyed it a lot, after some years we met there and had fun over one another. It takes around a full day to complete all the rides , but we missed the rides due to fear. That day has become one of our memorable days. A roller coaster is a game which causes much fear to all of us but we enjoyed it.

Explain how you felt about being there
 
 It is so good to spend time with my friend at that place. We spent nearly 45minutes to complete 1 ride, because we went on the weekend so it was crowded. Even though it was crowded, they organised it neatly by sweeping and collecting the garbage in trash bins. They won't allow people to use toiletries to be used in artificial falls.

Conclusion: 
 
 It is  also one of the crowded places, but it is more spacious so it seems uncrowded. Even if they maintain it neatly, we should avoid some activities like throwing garbage  in the walking lane, or grass lane. We should put it in the trash bin .
