The Storm

Last night, a ter­ri­ble storm hit the small vil­la­ge of Upper Eas­ton. The strong winds blew away the roofs of se­ve­r­al houses. The rain that fol­lo­wed floo­ded the ba­se­ments of five homes in the vil­la­ge cen­ter. The “Gol­den Lion Inn”, the local pub, suf­fe­red the most da­ma­ge. The flood fil­led the cel­lar of the old buil­ding and wa­te­red down the stocks of ale and wine. Out­si­de Upper Eas­ton the storm has blown down a large oak tree. The tree trunk is blo­cking the road to Lower Eas­ton and pos­si­b­ly will do so for se­ve­r­al more hours. The po­li­ce and the local fire bri­ga­de will clear the road as soon as pos­si­ble. The autho­ri­ties ask dri­vers going from Len­sing­ton to Bridge­field to use the si­gned out di­ver­si­on.

You are doing an in­tern­ship at a local radio sta­ti­on and have just re­cei­ved the news re­port about the storm last night. Un­for­t­u­na­te­ly, Alan, the sta­ti­ons news­cas­ter, doesn't like the text. He asks you to put in to the pas­si­ve voice to make it sound more news like.
  • Put the text into the pas­si­ve voice. You can di­vi­de sen­ten­ces if you want to, but all in­for­ma­ti­on must
     be in­clu­ded.
