IMPERSONAL PASSIVE: Explanation + Exercises 1,2,3,4

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The passive with reporting verbs - Grammar chart

In news reports and formal writing, it is common to use the passive forms of reporting verbs. Using this resource allows us to give information when we don't know for sure whether it is true or not, or when we want to distance ourselves from the source of the information.

Reporting verbs are verbs of saying or believing such as agree, announce, believe, claim, consider, expect, hope, know, report, say, suggest, think, understand, etc. And we can use their passive form for distancing in two different ways. Check the examples below:

It is said that... + subject + verb

We can use the passive of a reporting verb in a sentence after an introductory it: It + passive reporting verb + (that) + clause (subject + verb)

Someone is said to + infinitive

When we use the passive form of a reporting verb after the real subject of sentence (and NOT after it), we need to use an infinitive after the passive of the reporting verb.

Someone is said to do

When the reported action is simultaneous to the reporting, we can use use: subject + passive reporting verb + to + infinitive.

We can also use this form to refer to the future.

Someone is said to be doing

When the reported action is in progress simultaneously to the reporting, we can also use subject + passive reporting verb + to be + -ing (continuous infinitive) with dynamic verbs.

Someone is said to have done

When the reported action is previous to the reporting (earlier in the past), we use subject + passive reporting verb + to have + past participle (perfect infinitive).

MEDIATION AT THE EOI EXAM: C2 LEVEL- Summarising & Identifying the Writer´s Opinion. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
1 Wrap gifts in fabric and tie with ribbon; both are reusable and prettier than paper and sticky-tape.

2 Start a compost heap to reduce the waste you send to landfill sites.

3 Buy your own hive: without bees the planet would last for only 60 years (and honey is good for your health).

4 Use a nappy washing service: they use 32% less energy and 41% less water than home washing.

5 Slow down. Driving at 50mph uses 25% less fuel than 70mph.

6 Wash your clothes with your flatmates' instead of wasting water on half-empty loads.

7 Turn down your central heating and put on a jumper.

8 Take a brisk shower, not a leisurely bath, to save water.

9 Hold a Tupperware party. Airtight food containers can be reused; sandwich bags and plastic wrap cannot.

10 Choose energy-efficient appliances when you replace old ones.

11 Buy compact fluorescent light bulbs. They last eight times as long and use a fraction of the energy.

12 Join a library instead of buying books.

13 Get to know your neighbours; they are more likely to keep your home safe than energy-guzzling security lamps.

14 Recycle your car oil at a recycling depot or petrol station; it contains lead, nickel and cadmium.

15 Get on your bike instead of driving.

16 Let them carry you off in a biodegradable cardboard coffin, saving trees.

17 Use low-phosphate washing-up liquid and washing powder. Phosphates stimulate algal growth when discharged into the water supply, lowering oxygen levels and killing plants and fish.

18 Buy local, or better still, grow your own food, so energy is not wasted on transportation.

19 Raise your glass to organic beer; conventionally grown hops are sprayed up to a dozen times a year.

20 Use recycling facilities. If there aren't any, ask your council for them.

21 Ditch the air-conditioner and buy an aspidistra; plants help cut pollution.

22 Take the plunge and move in with your partner so you light and heat one home rather than two.

23 Give a colleague a lift to work; if no one is going your way, join a carshare scheme to find a passenger.

24 Cook for friends. Large quantities of food use less packaging than the same quantity in individual portions (and take less energy to cook).

25 Copy ministers by holidaying in Britain (but unlike them, skip the follow-up trip to Tuscany).

26 Give your garden a good breakfast; coffee grounds and eggshells are ideal for composting.

27 Refuse plastic carrier bags, or at least reuse them. Cloth bags are better.

28 Donate your leftover paint to a community project; Britons fail to use 6.2m litres of the paint they buy each year.

29 Drink tap or filtered water, not bottled.

30 Invest in a washing line; tumble dryers devour electricity.

31 Buy chocolates from proper chocolate stores, so they are not individually wrapped.

32 Turn off TVs and stereos instead of switching them to standby.

33 Lighten up: paint your walls a pale colour, so you need less artificial light.

34 Only flush toilets if really needed; follow the Australian maxim: "If it's yellow that's mellow, if it's brown flush it down."

35 Improve the ambience and dine by candlelight, saving electricity.

36 Insulate your home. Cavity wall insulation can cut heat loss through the wall by up to 60%.

37 Buy from companies with eco-friendly policies; boycott those without.

38 Soak up the sun; even in Britain, solar panels can produce a surprising amount of energy.

39 Clean the back of your fridge. Dusty coils can increase energy consumption by 30%.

40 Avoid air travel; it produces three times more carbon dioxide per passenger than rail.

41 Pretend Christmas has come early; turkey is more likely than chicken to be produced in the UK, while British-grown brussel sprouts require less transport than Kenyan mangetout.

42 Grow plants to give to friends instead of cut flowers.

43 Choose a car with a 3-way catalytic converter, to reduce nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons emissions by 90%.

44 Ban blinds. Heavy curtains keep in more heat in winter.

45 Change materials as well as rooms; MDF and chipboard release formaldehyde, a carcinogen. Buy sustainably produced wood instead.

46 Cut up the plastic rings from packs of beer; they are invisible in water so wildlife can choke on them or trap themselves.

47 Bring a mug to the office instead of using polystyrene cups.

48 Snap up a 36-exposure film instead of 24, reducing waste from packaging and processing.

49 Cancel that expensive gym membership and walk to work instead.

50 Buy less. Save time and money as well as the planet.
