Scary things in the world: news, strangers, war and what-ifs, sentence 6
Lockdown drills and fire drills are practice so everyone knows what to do; schools practise because it is sensible, not because something bad is coming, and real emergencies are very rare.
Who acts: Lockdown drills, everyone, schools, practice, something, real emergencies · What happens: be, know, do, practise, not come · To what, where: practice · Speech: someone speaks here
