The body's rough side: burps, farts, snot, sneezes, hiccups and poo, sentence 11
A sneeze is a reflex that clears the nose, and about 1 person in 4 also sneezes at bright light; fast-camera tests found the air much slower than the 160 kilometres an hour people say, but droplets can float several metres.
Who acts: sneeze, reflex, 1 person, camera tests, people, droplets · What happens: be, clear, sneeze, find, say, float · To what, where: reflex, nose, bright light, 160 kilometres, several metres · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of the lesson «The body's rough side: burps, farts, snot, sneezes, hiccups and poo» of the biology course of Mova's primary school.
