THE ENGLISH CLIMATE.

The air is generally very moist, most so near the western coast, and less so as we go eastward.

It is to the abundant moisture of the air that the beautiful foliage of our trees and the rich verdure of our fields and gardens, so much praised by foreigners who visit England, are chiefly owing. Moisture is one of the two things most necessary to vegetation, and hence our fields, trees, and woods possess during the greater part of the year a continuous richness of verdure, which cannot be found under the sunny skies of the shores of the Mediterranean.

The weather is at times liable to very sudden changes, depending (S. 16, N. 4) mainly on the changes of the wind.—HEWITT, PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY OF ENGLAND AND WALES.

most so near, +und zwar am feuchtesten an+.

so = moist.

+je mehr.+

Say ‘To the great moisture of the air owe (+verdanken+) our trees chiefly their beautiful foliage and our fields and gardens their rich verdure, which by foreigners, who visit England, is praised so much’.

The words ‘most (+höchst+) necessary’, qualifying the noun ‘things’, must precede it. Things = conditions.
