Full transcript - Living and working abroad - monologue

Chaidh Iain Mac a' Ghobhainn a Chanada airson d脿 bhliadhna gus obair a dh猫anamh air tuathanas ann am Manitoba ann am meadhan na d霉thcha. Bhiodh Iain ag obair air croit a sheanar anns an Eilean Sgitheanach agus 's e ceanglaichean teaghlaich a thug cothrom dha a dhol a-null thairis. Bha br脿thair a mh脿thar ag obair ann am Manitoba agus b' esan a chuir post-dealain gu Iain ag innse gun robh cuideigin ga shireadh airson obair tractar air tuathanas ann an sin.

Cha robh Iain cinnteach an toiseach. Bidh i re貌ite fuar sa gheamhradh ann am Manitoba agus chan eil am fuachd a' c貌rdadh ris, ach ghabh e an cothrom agus ann an 霉ine nach robh fada bha e air a' phr猫iridh ann an Canada. Ged a bha na l脿ithean gl猫 fhada, ch貌rd an obair ris gu m貌r agus cha robh an cianalas air. Bha an sluagh uabhasach c脿irdeil. Bha m貌ran dhaoine le teaghlach Albannach a' fuireach san sg矛re agus bhiodh Iain a' cluich na p矛ob aig partaidhean.

脌s d猫idh dha Iain sgur a dh'obair, ghabh e cuairt timcheall Chanada airson sia m矛osan. 'S e an dara d霉thaich as motha san t-saoghal a th' ann, agus ged a chaidh e on taobh siar chun an taobh sear, chan fhaca e ach gl猫 bheag dheth. B' e Montreal am baile a b' fhe脿rr leis, bha e l脿n de dh'eachdraidh agus de chultar.

Bha Iain toilichte tilleadh dhachaigh ge-t脿. Cha robh e ro mheasail air a' bhiadh ann an Ameireaga a Tuath idir. Bha cus si霉cair agus geir ann, agus bhiodh sliseagan ri fhaotainn leis a h-uile c脿il. Shaoil e nach robh e idir fallain. Bha e air a dh貌igh brot math a mh脿thar fhaighinn nuair a r脿inig e a dhachaigh.
