He asked me if I (20-know) them. I said I didnt. Indeed, I (21-see) them a few times, but I (22-never/ speak) to them. Then he wanted to know how long (23-they/ live) there. I said that I (24-see) their furniture van on the day they (25-move) in, a few weeks before. He asked me if he (26-stay) in my room to watch the street for a while, so I showed him in. However, I (27-not help) asking him why he (28-watch) them. He hesitated a bit but explained that they (29-suspect) of being drug smugglers. I couldnt believe it. After he (30-observe) the street for three hours, it seemed he (31-finish) and apologised for (32-intrude) upon my privacy but I assured him I (33-not mind) helping the authorities. He said he (34-wish) all citizens (35-be) like that, then the police (36-catch) more criminals. Anyway, a few days later, I (37-read) in the paper that our dubious neighbours (38-eventually/ arrest) by the police.

b) Turn the bits of text into direct speech wherever possible (p.37) I had a most strange experience a few weeks ago. I was sitting at home, when about nine oclock there was a knock on the door. I was not expecting anyone. Who can it be? I wondered. I opened the front door, and there was this man in an old raincoat. What do you want? I asked him, but he did not tell me at first. Are you alone in the house? he asked me. That is an odd question, I thought. I am, because everyone else has gone out for the evening, I said anyway. May I come in? he said then. I want to know who you are before I let you into the house, I said, which was only natural, after all. Anyway, he pretended that he had not heard, but looked up and down the street. By this time, however, I was getting a bit worried. Shall I call the police? I started to wonder, because this chap seems a bit suspicious. But then he eventually said I am a policeman. Heres my card. The police have been watching for some time the people who live / are living in a house a few doors away. Do you know them? he asked. No, I dont. I have seen them a few times, but I have never spoken to them, I said. How long have they been living here? he wanted to know. I saw their furniture van on the day they moved in, a few weeks ago, I said. May I stay in your room to watch the street for a while? he asked, so I showed him in. Why are you watching them? I couldnt help asking. They are suspected of being drug smugglers, he explained after some hesitation. I cant believe I, I said. After he had observed the street for three hours, it seemed had finished. Im sorry to have intruded upon your privacy, he said. But I dont mind helping the authorities, I assured him.

I wish all citizens were like this, then the police would catch more criminals, he commented. Anyway, a few days later, I read in the paper the headlines DUBIOUS NEIGHBOUR EVENTUALLY ARRESTED BY POLICE and it was about them.
