Question

I was walking along Orchard Road when I realized a tall young man wearing a jacket and tie was following me.  I noticed him because not many people wear a jacket and tie in the middle of a hot summer day, and I had already seen this man four times that afternoon.

To make sure he was following me, I walked on quickly, turned right into a shopping center and then stopped to look in a shop window.  Soon the man appeared and stopped at another shop window.  I walked on and stopped several times.  When I stopped , he stopped too.

I began to be rather worried and decided to try to lose this strange man.  When I saw a taxi coming, I jumped into it.  As I was telling the taxi driver where to go, I found the man get into another taxi, which then followed mine.  As the two taxies slowly made their way along Orchard Road, I looked back at the taxi behind, and saw that the stranger was looking out at me.  At MRT station, I told the taxi driver to stop and I got out.  As I was paying my fare, I saw the man was getting out of his taxi.

By now I got angry, so I turned and walked straight to him.  I asked him why he was following me.  At first he said he was not following me at all, but when I threatened(威胁) to call the police, he admitted he was.  He then told me that he was a journalist(news reporter) and that he was writing an article on how elderly people in Singapore spend their time.  He said he was observing me to gather materials for his article.
