@helenlight,
From active sentence to passive you take the object and make it to subject.
Ice cream is liked by most people.

The rest should be written by you and will be corrected by us.

When changing from active to passive, it's OK to change verbs or other words in order to keep the same idea.

4. No one has painted the cottage in years.
4. The cottage hasn't been painted by anyone in years.

5. The children enjoyed the film.
5. The film was enjoyed by the children.
