Britain n. 英国 island n. 岛屿 blow v. 吹
In Britain the weather never gets too hot or too cold. There’s not much difference between summer and winter. Why?
Britain has a warm winter and a cool summer because it’s an island country. In winter the sea is warmer than the land. The winds from the sea bring warm air to Britain. In summer, the sea is cooler than the land. The winds from the sea bring cool air to Britain.
The winds from the west blow over Britain all the year. They blow from the southwest across the sea. They are wet winds. They bring rain to Britain all the year. So the west is wetter than the east. The winds must blow across the high land in the west, so the east of Britain is drier than the west.
