| The American Inheritance 6.1.1 Kirree finds out about the government of the Isle of Man as they drive back to Douglas. Ealee: There’s Tynwald Hill. Tynwald meets there every year on the fifth of July. Kirree: What’s Tynwald? Ealee: The Manx parliament. Juan: Didn’t your people tell you about it? Kirree: I never paid much attention. Ealee: The House of Keys is the most important part of Tynwald. Kirree: Why ‘Kiare as Feed’? Ealee: Because there are twenty- four members in it, each one elected by the people. Juan: Is the lesson over? Kirree: It’s OK - I’m interested in this stuff. The American Inheritance 6.1.2 The car is in a long line of other cars behind a bus. Juan:Oh dear me! We’re stuck now - damned bus! Ealee:Would you believe it? And here’s a man who’s worried about the environment. Kirree: What’s public transport like here? Juan: It depends on where you live. Ealee: Naturally. It’s bad without a car for the most part. Juan:There are vintage steam trains and electric trains as well. Kirree:Where do they go? Juan:Between Douglas and Port Erin, and Douglas and Ramsey. Kirree: And what about transport to and from the Isle of Man? Ealee:You can fly between the Island and the United Kingdom and Ireland throughout the year. You can sail between the Island and England throughout the year too The boats go to Ireland in the summer. Juan:We’re coming into Douglas. The American Inheritance 6.1.3 Juan, Ealee and Kirree drive through Douglas. Ealee: Most of the finance sector is here. Juan: The Isle of Man Government earns lots of money from it. Kirree: And what about tourism? Don’t lots of tourists come here? Ealee:No. It’s not like the old days. Juan: But tourism for special things is fairly important. Kirree: And farming? Ealee:It’s difficult being a farmer in the Isle of Man now! Kirree: Yes, I noticed not much land is being cultivated. Juan: The poor farmers! Ealee: Here’s the house now. Juan parks the car and they go into the house. |
