Your teacher wants you to use active voice instead of
passive voice. Active voice involves using verbs that indicate doing something rather
than being something.
To write using active voice, figure
out who or what is doing something in the sentence and make that person or thing the
subject of the sentence. Then choose a verb that shows what they are
doing.
For example:
Passive
voice: The book Fahrenheit 451 is written by Ray Bradbury. (Subject=book,
verb=is)
Active voice: Ray Bradbury wrote the book
Fahrenheit 451. (Subject=Ray Bradbury, verb=wrote)
