Question

5. Read the text. Four sentences have been removed from it. Choose from the sentences (a-d) the one which fits each gap (1-4). Read the text again and describe one of the seasons. The climate of the British Isles is mild, temperate and very changeable. 1. This is because of the sea which keeps the island warm in winter and makes the air cool in summer. The mean annual temperature ranges from +8 °C to +11 °C. The mean monthly temperature in the North ranges from +3 °C in winter to +11 °C in summer. 2. You can never have the same kind of weather for a long time. In spring sunshine and showers follow each other so often during the day that umbrellas or raincoats are things you need in Great Britain. You can leave your home in fine weather but get to school or your work in pouring rain. In spring the weather is generally mild but sometimes the days are cold. The summer isn't as hot as on the continent. The autumn is rainy but very beautiful. As for winter, sometimes it rains or it snows, and sometimes it's foggy or frosty. 3. But the worst thing about the climate in Great Britain is the thick fog in autumn and winter, in London it is sometimes so thick that cars can be damaged. March, April, May and June are the driest months and September, October, November, December and January are the wettest months. The English say, «We don't have a climate, we have only samples of weather». 4. The people can talk about the weather for hours. a. The climate is the main subject of conversation for the English. b. It is not very cold in winter and not very hot in summer. C. It often rains in Great Britain and the weather changes very often. d. The rivers and lakes are seldom covered with ice and the ice isn't thick enough to go skating.​
