2. Grammar: Passive Voice (Present & Past)
We use the Passive Voice when the action or the receiver of the action is more important than who did it. We form the passive voice using the verb "to be" and the past participle.
| Tense | Form | Example in Ratanakiri |
|---|---|---|
| Present Passive | am / is / are + past participle | The lake is protected by Tola. Beautiful baskets are woven by Ravy. |
| Past Passive | was / were + past participle | A meeting was arranged on Sunday. The phones were turned off at 6 PM. |
Grammar Practice (Part 1: Present Passive)
Complete the sentences using the present passive form of the verbs in brackets.
Grammar Practice (Part 2: Past Passive)
Complete the sentences using the past passive form of the verbs in brackets.
3. Reading: Context in Ratanakiri
On the other side of town, his friend Ravy is a highly skilled artisan. Amazing indigenous crafts are made by Ravy and are sold to tourists at the local market. While she loves her art, her schedule is often filled with tight deadlines. Last week, a massive order of traditional baskets was requested by a large boutique in Phnom Penh.
Both friends quickly realized that their well-being was being ignored. They needed to set a clear boundary between work and leisure. On Sunday, a quiet meeting was arranged by Tola near the peaceful shores of the lake. They discussed how to prioritize their mental health. "Our energy must be restored," Ravy said. "More downtime is needed by both of us."
They immediately agreed to dedicate their weekends entirely to themselves. Now, their phones are turned off by 6 PM every evening, and weekends are spent enjoying the stunning natural beauty of Ratanakiri. They have learned that to be productive, it is essential to recharge. Today, the lake is still guarded by Tola, but his shifts are managed better. The baskets are woven by Ravy with pure joy, not stress.

Hi Sophea,
I hope you are well. Last week, I was very close to burnout. A huge number of baskets were ordered by a boutique, and my schedule was completely full. I felt so overworked!
Thankfully, a meeting was arranged by my friend Tola. We decided that our well-being must be protected. We set a strict boundary. Now, my evenings are kept free, and my downtime is prioritized. I finally have time to recharge by the lake.
Let's catch up soon during my leisure time!
Best,
Ravy
