You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

If you're not familiar with the Isle of Man, it's a green and pleasant island nation in the middle of the Irish Sea. At only about thirty miles long, it has an incredible choice of things to do and see — especially if you're a fan of beautiful landscapes. A day trip around the Island can have you take in diverse and stunning landscapes and fascinating historical sites. For such a calm and peaceful island, it has a long history of conquest, kings, and ancient peoples. If you head all the way north, you'll get to the Point of Ayre. There you'll find a picturesque lighthouse on a long and open rocky beach. It takes seven hours and eighty miles to do a full tour around the Isle of Man. A full and action-packed day from the far north, right down to the south.
