IV. Read the text and translate it into Russian paying careful attention to the use of the modal verbs. Make up another dialogue with the same structural patterns:

THE LOST TIN-OPENER

Maggie, Robert, Jane and Jim are English tourists. They are travelling over Europe by car. Now they have stopped in a small town for a few days. Maggie has been shopping. She has just come back.

Robert: Oh, there you are at last, Maggie. We're absolutely starving. I hope you've bought a lot of food.

Maggie: Certainly. Here you are: two tins of herring in tomato sauce, one tin of stuffed paprikas and a tin of beef. Pass me the tin-opener and I'll make you some stew.

Robert: Where did you pack the tin-opener? It isn't with the cutlery.

Maggie: I may have put it in with the cooker.

Robert: No, it isn't with the cooker either. You must have forgotten to take one.

Maggie: No, I can't possibly have forgotten the tin-opener. It's always the first thing I think of when I'm packing. I must have put it in some very safe place, only now I can't remember where.

Jane: It might have fallen out and got lost on the way.

Robert: Oh Lord, you women! Can't you ever be methodical? Now think hard, Maggie: where could you have put it?

Maggie: I might have put it in the glove compartment of the car; but no, that's not very likely. Or I might have put it with the first-aid kit. No, that's not very likely either.

Robert: Don't tell us where you might have put it. Tell us where you did put it.

Jane: We should have brought a spare one. There's always trouble over tin-openers.

Maggie: Now let me think where else I could have put it. Mmm... I know, I may have put it together with the tent-pegs. That's quite possible.

Robert: No, I would have noticed it when I put up the tents. Maggie, I'm starving. Please, think of something soon.

Maggie: I know! I remember Jim using it this morning to open a bottle of orangeade. He must have pocketed it by mistake. He's always doing things like that.

Jane: Where's Jim, by the way?

Maggie: He's gone into town to change some traveller's cheques. I don't suppose, he'll be back for some time.

Robert: There's nothing for it, Maggie. We'll have bread and cheese for lunch.

(After H. Andrews "Say it with us")
