8. One day, Tony was walking home from work late at night when he heard
someone walking behind him. He looked back, but it was too dark to see clearly.
He started to feel nervous and began to walk more quickly. Just then, he could
hear the person behind him walking faster. He got scared and began to run.
Until that moment, he hadn’t really noticed that a woman carrying a shopping
bag was walking slowly in front of him. The moment he began to run, she
screamed, dropped her shopping bag and turned to face him with a look of terror
on her face. He stopped running and tried to smile at her. At that moment, the
person he thought had been following him walked by, looking curiously at Tony
and the woman. Tony picked up the woman’s packages and apologized for
frightening her, but she still looked very annoyed.
