Active or passive voice?

Clarkson is a large town. It has more than fifty thousand people living there. It sits next to a
large river, the Clark River. Every day, people take the ferry from North Clarkson to South Clarkson to
go to work.
Most people live in North Clarkson. There are many trees and the streets are very broad.
When the sun shines and the children run and play in the safe streets, North Clarkson is a wonderful
place to live.
Every year, Clarkson grows in size because a lot of people come to live there. More houses
are being built and the streets get busier. Maybe in the future, if the town continues to grow, it will
become a city!
A Siberian Winter
It was only minus 28 degrees Celsius when we landed in Irkutsk. But that was cold enough to
make breathing an effort - the air felt like ice as it scraped the back of my throat. Five minutes later, I
needed a second pair of gloves and pulled my scarf tight over my nose and mouth. I was obviously a
beginner at this.
At the petrol station, Mikhail the attendant laughed when we asked if he wasn't freezing. He'd
spent the whole day outside with no more than his fur hat and a sheepskin coat for warmth.
There's a belief in Siberia that enough vodka will insulate you from the cold. It's been proved
tragically wrong in the past few weeks. Dozens of bodies of the homeless or men walking drunkenly
back from the pub were found by the police.
