Question

Exercise 5. Grammar Book. a) Read the text and circle the passive forms. Shopping is loved by many people. Joy is brought from new clothes and accessories, modern items of technology or even fresh food and drinks. However, shopping is not enjoyed by everyone. There are people who only do it when new products are needed. In other cases, they think it is annoying. That is why today we have malls huge shopping centres that are built in different towns and cities. They are created not only for us to do some shopping. A good choice of entertainment is also presented there - cafes, snack bars, cinemas, kids' rooms or clubs. At some malls even skating rinks are offered! These centres are preferred by many customers because there is no comfort in walking from one shop to another. Here everything is set all in one place!
