Doris reached a high rock that gave her a perfect vantage point to overlook the wide valley below.
From there she saw thick green vegetation covering the hills and a man walking slowly along the riverbank.
He looked weary as if the long walk under the hot sun had taken all his energy.
Okay, let's deep dive now.
into some of that vocabulary starting with the noun vegetation vegetation we spell this V E G E T A T I O N vegetation vegetation vegetation is plants trees and grass that grow in an area.
So I have vegetation in my garden.
When you go to the woods or out into the countryside you will see lots of vegetation.
