Now look for more sentences with the passive voice in the reading passage and talk about why it is used.

The book made me stop and think about how much I am influenced by popular culture and the importance of creating my own values based on love and open communication.

Since ancient times, storytelling has been a way to share and pass on wisdom. One important early work that did so was Aesop’s Fables, a collection of stories that history credits to Aesop, a Greek storyteller. People believe that he lived in Ancient Greece between 620 BC and 564 BC. Most of the characters in his stories are animals, the qualities of which Aesop used to reflect human traits and wisdom. Each fable teaches a life lesson that Aesop summarises in a short phrase at the end of the story, called a moral.
Today, children and adults all around the world still enjoy Aesop’s Fables .Since ancient times, storytelling has been a way to share and pass on wisdom.

One day a little mouse was caught by a lion. The lion wanted to eat the mouse, but the mouse said that he would help the lion someday, if he was let to go. The lion thought, “How can a great animal be helped by a little animal ” But the mouse was allowed to leave.
Several days later, the lion was caught by a hunter’s net. The mouse bit the net with his strong teeth and helped the lion out. Thanks to the little mouse, the lion was saved and finally admitted that the strong could sometimes be helped by the weak.

In most countries, the average age for starting university is 18 years old, but actually there is no upper age limit for starting a university degree. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of mature students going to university, after working for a few or many years. The oldest person to get a Cambridge MA received his law degree at the age of 102.
