Many television programs are very realistic. One who watches TV often feels that whatever happened in the film could well happen to him. With only a little imagination, every man in the street becomes a thief, a spy or a murderer. Jane had been watching a spy film at a friend’s house. In it, a young girl had been followed and murdered. She felt a little frightened walking to the station. She took the train back to the center of the city. There were a lot of people traveling, so she felt much safer. She looked round at the other side in the train.
    A man sitting opposite her, reading a newspaper, glanced at her. She thought nothing of it until she saw him staring at her. Remembering the film and feeling very uncomfortable, she got out of the train and went to the bus stop. When he got on the same bus as her, she found that he was following her. As long as she had been with other people she wasn’t scared. But when she got off the bus, the streets were almost empty. She walked as quickly as she could. She could hear footsteps following her but she didn’t dare to look back. After what seemed to have been hours, but was in fact only a few minutes, she reached the front door. She felt for her keys, but was unable to find them, because she was so frightened. The footsteps stopped behind her. She felt a hand on her shoulder. She heard a pleasant voice. "I’m your new neighbor. I thought I recognized you in the train, but I wasn’t sure."
