Write a short text about a charity activity at your school using the passive voice.
Possible answer
Every year, charity concerts are organized by our school to raise money for children in poor areas. These meaningful activities are welcomed by teachers and students alike, and everyone is willing to take an active part in them. Last month, a special charity concert was held in our school hall, and it turned out to be a huge success.
Many beautiful songs were sung by our school choir. The colorful and creative paintings were painted by Grade 8 students and they were also displayed in the corridor to attract more audience. Tickets for the concert were sold out in just two days. A large amount of money was raised by the end of the concert.
This charity concert not only brings warmth to children in need but also teaches us the importance of helping others.
