"Question to anyone who speaks English !"

Yesterday was my English exam, and there was a question that I disagreed on with all the English teachers in the school, so in order to know the exact correct answer, the best thing to do is to ask British people (I am Egyptian by the way). This is the question:

Begin the following phrase with the word "Books", so that it would give the same meaning:
-People still read books.

My answer: Books are still being read by people.
The teachers' answer: Books are still read by people.

There are only 2 students in the school that wrote my answer: Me and my friend, and we're both the best English students in the school. And I mean the BEST, there is no one else in the school that can be compared to us. While on the other hand, all 3 English teachers in the school say that the correct answer is the other one, so ?

You're wrong, I checked it.

Looks like your English isn't as great as you claim, bro.

If my answer isn't correct, then my situation will become reaaaally screwed up. Last year I lost 8 marks because of Arabic, and I got the highest mark ever in Biology, but it still makes me lose 6 marks, which gives an advantage to people who chose chemistry.. If I end up getting a job in Egypt, I'll commit a suicide, seriously..

Heh.

Haha

I just looked at the title again.

I agree. Contradicting englsh teachers is a fun thing to do. Sometimes we distract them from the lesson with a really stupid open-ended question.

I love a good argument.
