British Climate and Personality
Hello there! It's me again with my translation. So my previous homework was to translate a text about British weather. I don't think It's completely correct at all, that's why I want to you ask you to show me my mistakes. Thank you!
"Merry green England" - English poets often call their motherland like that. Refreshingly tender green of England's landscape is usually attributed to humid sea climate. The winds, blowing from the Atlantic, bring rainess to the British Isles. British rainess makes lawns green all year round. Sometimes it is even called the eight wonder of the world. The UK people more often observe white winter with snow-covered cottages on the postcards, not life-size. Typical English winter is fogs and rimes which brought by the East winds.
Nevertheless, unpredictable English weather presents surprises: occasionally in November during mud and yellowish fog (called "pea soup"), gold and warm as in summer days are happen.
The papers said, that people swam in the Channel on the Isle of Wight on the 31 December 1963. Rainess not only defined the exterior of Britain, it also defined some personality traits of dwellers. Inasmuch as they permanently overcame the reluctance of leaving house and home and walked in the rain, they formed their famous habit - showing up on time. Even raining cats and dogs can't make English people change their plans whether it be a friendly meeting in a pub or a camping for nuclear disarmament. Let's consider such original English traits as caution and parsimony. A lot of people think these traits have developed because of rainess. English people always concerned about forgotting an umbrella and so on. If truth be told, umbrellas are often replaced by raincoats. To the contrary, the head office of London urban traffic still find about 70 thousands of umbrellas, forgotten in buses and tubes...
P.S. I don't think that the facts of this text are completely true. And I don't like stereotypes about nations/countries. However, this text needs your correcting. Hope it will obtain it :)
