    Luxuries.

    Passive voice
    1)
    A. Complete the in the paragraph with the passive form of the verbs in
    parentheses.
    Luxury items are expensive for a reason. Expensive watches, for example, are made (make)
    from precious metals such as silver or platinum. Beautiful jewelry is produced (produce) by
    people, not by machines. Precious stones such as diamonds and opals are separated
    (separate) from tonts of rock, and that requires expensive machinery. Imported luxury items
    are brought (bring) in form distant countries, so the cost of transportation adds to their
    expense. Finally, a luxury item such as perfume is made (make) from special ingredients that
    can only be found in a few places in the world.

    B. Match the luxury items to the actions.

    be in the past) and the participle.

    A) Close your book and listen to the conversation. Who made Elle’s blouse?
    Women in a co-op
    Sandra: That’s a beautiful blouse! Is it silk?
    Ellen: No, it’s cotton, but it is soft like silk.
    Sandra: I heard that the best cotton is grown in Egypt.

    Ellen: Really? A lot of cotton is grown in India, too, but I don’t know which kind is better
    Sandra: Where was your blouse made?
    Ellen: In Sri Lanka. It was made by women in a co-op. They work together to make clothes.
    Then they are sold directly to the stores, and the women keep the profit.
    Sandra: That’s great!

    Translation

    Sandra: ¡Esa es una blusa hermosa! ¿Es seda?


    Ellen: No, es algodón, pero es suave como la seda.
    Sandra: Escuché que el mejor algodón se cultiva en Egipto.
    Ellen: ¿En serio? También se cultiva mucho algodón en India, pero no sé qué tipo es mejor
    Sandra: ¿Dónde se hizo tu blusa?

    Ellen: En Sri Lanka. Fue hecho por mujeres en una cooperativa. Trabajan juntos para hacer
    ropa. Luego se venden directamente a las tiendas, y las mujeres se quedan con las
    ganancias.

    Sandra: ¡Eso es genial!
