7. Read and translate the text in the written form. Copy out the sentences with Modal Verbs. Make 5 questions on the text.

Devlin strode along the grey-carpeted corridor to her office. Now that she was back, her mind was buzzing with ideas. She greeted Liz, her PA, took the list of messages awaiting her into her office, left instructions that she was not to be disturbed for the next half hour and closed the door firmly behind her.

Devlin had learned from experience that if she wanted to get her priority work done it was imperative that she be not disturbed. Otherwise she had an open-door policy that was much appreciated by her employees. She flicked through the messages quickly and read one in particular with considerable satisfaction. Good, she thought: that was exactly the response she had hoped for. She must phone Luke; he wasn’t too happy about what she was planning next. Luke Reilly, her partner, was a very good businessman, and over the years he had learned to be cautious. Devlin, in business only a short time, was still finding her feet and inclined to rush into things. But this idea she’d had was a good one. She knew it was a good one-one of her best-and she knew it was going to work. Tanned fingers dialled the digits on the phone, as Devlin sat on the edge of her desk, her long legs swinging.

“Hi, you!” Devlin could sense that Luke was smiling at the other end of the phone. ”Did you have a good weekend?”

“Oh it was great. Listen, Luke: I got word from Arthur Kelly and he is very interested. I think we should go ahead.” Devlin wasted no time in getting down to business. There was a silence at the other end of the phone.

“Is that so?” said Luke, an edge to his deep voice. “I’ll be in Dublin on Wednesday. I’ll get my PA to talk to yours to arrange a meeting. I’ll see you then, Devlin, and we’ll talk business.” There was a click at the other end of the line and the phone went dead.
