Question

Weather
camp. Which forms of the Passive Voice should be used here?

Hi everybody,
How are you?
The camp is great. Every day we (1) wake up at 7.30
and after washing we (2) tell to go to the canteen to have
breakfast. Everything (3) cook very well here. You
know we (4) ask to clean the table after the meals. Some
don’t like it at all, but I think it’s not bad. In this way
we (5) teach to be independent.
We have already done quite a few interesting things.
Our first project – a weather forecast competition – has
just starting. Besides, we (6) teach to forecast weather
in our last class. Yesterday we (7) take round a weather
station. We (8) show different measuring tools. We
also (9) explain how predictions about weather usual-
ly (10) make. I believe, with satellites and computers
weather (11) predict very well in the future.
On the whole the camp is both useful and enjoyable.
Love and best wishes,
Nelly.

2 are told

3 is cooked

Такие глаголы как  explain (something to somebody — объяснять что-то кому-то), point out (указывать), announce (объявлять), dictate (диктовать), describe (описывать), mention (упоминать), repeat (повторять), suggest (предлагать), propose (предлагать) образуют только одну  конструкцию в пассивном залоге:

The rule was explained to him. — Ему объяснили правило (правило было объяснено).

Но НЕЛЬЗЯ образовать такое предложение:

He was explained the rule.
