Ответ от учителя
The text in Exercise 5, page 65 (Student’s Book, Part 2) talks about the history of the Olympic Games. Here are some examples of sentences in the passive voice from the text, along with their active voice counterparts:
Passive: The Olympic Games were first held in ancient Greece.
Active: Ancient Greeks first held the Olympic Games.
Passive: The Olympic Games are held every four years.
Active: People hold the Olympic Games every four years.
Passive: The Olympic Games were cancelled during World War I and II.
Active: People cancelled the Olympic Games during World War I and II.
Passive: The Olympic Games are watched by millions of people around the world.
Active: Millions of people around the world watch the Olympic Games.
Passive: The Olympic Games are known for promoting peace and unity.
Active: People know the Olympic Games for promoting peace and unity.
By changing the sentences from passive to active voice, we make the subject of the sentence the doer of the action, which can make the sentence more clear and direct.
