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 ?

Books still read people....
...
seriously though, both are correct and have the same meaning, your sentece is simply passive, which is probably better in the situation. Was it like a choice between a bunch or could you just write a sentence, if it is the latter then i cant see you not getting the marks. hope that is helpful.

Unless it involves getting a discount, then I can laugh at everyone else.

So let me get this straight.
You're worrying about not being able to get into Uni, yet you let people copy your work?

This is actually true. Before I went to the exam yesterday, I watched the early morning episode of The Powerpuff Girls, so I got delayed. The exam was at 9:00 P.M, but I arrived at 9:05. The moment I entered the class all the students applauded, and some of them kept thanking God. Do you know why ? Because they were counting on copying off from me, half of them at least, the other half was copying off from my friend. I sit in the last row and he sits in the front row, so we kind'a covered the whole class !

They hurt a hell of a lot. My friend's mum got stung by one on holiday. and they had to use tweezers to get the spike out...
