~ Passive Voice 2~

Rewrite the paragraph below in passive voice.
People manufacture modern paper from a mixture of various fibers, including wood, grass and cotton. When the logs arrive at the factory, the workers remove the bark. They then feed the wood into a mill in order to grind it to a pulp. The workers add a great deal of water and various vegetable fibers at this stage. They bleach the pulp and then beat it to break down still further. They mix the glue and resin with the pulp so that they obtain a better consistency. Next they pour it on the wire screens and roll it with the purpose of removing the water. The workers then press and watermark it. They then subsequently dry and glaze it so as to obtain a smooth finish. Finally, they reel it on to long rollers and cut it to size.
