Question

【題目】In Britain, the weather never gets too hot or too cold. There is not a great difference between summer and winter. Why is this?

Britain has a warm winter and a cool summer because it is 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 west blow over Britain all the year. They blow from the southwest across the Atlantic Ocean (大西洋). They are wet winds. They bring rain to Britain all the year, so Britain has a lot of rainy weather. The west of Britain is wetter than the east. The winds must blow across the high land in the west.
