I need this text for school.

German translation:Correction to previous answer:
Explanation:
Die Hauptstadt ist Douglas. Sie liegt in der Nähe von Onchan. Sie ist groß und hat ein Kino. (Or: Sie ist groß. Sie hat ein Kino.)
The personal pronoun "it" refers back to capital (Hauptstadt in German). The gender for Stadt/Hauptstadt is feminine, thus the German personal pronouns must also be feminine.

Seems to me, though, if you need this text for school that you shouldn't rely on others to do it for you.
