The Earth as a planet, sentence 1
It spins once a day, which gives us day and night, and it races round the Sun once a year at about 30 kilometres every second, though we never feel it, just as you do not feel a smooth train.
Who acts: life, day, we, you · What happens: spin, give, race, not feel · To what, where: us, 30 kilometres, life, smooth train
