Computers offer wonderful opportunities for everybody. Many teenagers enjoy using their computers. They make new friends and chat with them on the Internet.
But on the other hand, children who spend a lot of time at the computer, spend little time in the open air, they have virtually no real communication with peers. Many teachers in schools note the limited knowledge of children, lack of interest in reading books. Children sit in front of their PC or laptop (notebook) for hours and it’s bad for their eyes! They can’t stop playing cruel and silly games and become nervous and tired. The computer is sometimes a mere waste of time. Parents are concerned that the children using the Internet are not protected from negative information, which can be found on many sites. Computers are dangerous and addictive.
But besides many disadvantages in using the computer by children, there are of course some advantages too.
Regarding the education of children on the Internet, children can find all the necessary information that is not given even in the textbooks. The main condition - to be able to properly use the Internet resources, then the child will only benefit from the computer. Then the Internet helps greatly in children’s studies. They find the necessary information and ideas on the net and use them in their work. The computer helps them both to relax and to get a lot of new interesting information.
To my mind, it’s a useful gadget.

Объясните, , почему в данных предложениях именно такие формы глаголов? every year patriotic songs are heard everywhere in the usa on july 4. many questions were answered by the president at his annual conference last thuesday. the candeles were lighting on the birthday cake when sam returened from work. p.s. заранее !
Все так, предложения корректны:
Many questions were answered by the president at his annual conference last Thuesday.
Переводить на русский лучше в активе: "Президент ответил на многие вопросы во время ежегодной конференции на неделе во вторник".
Но форма глагола в пассиве: were answered by the president (были отвечены президентом)
У каждого времени и формы глагола есть свои маркеры. Если last Thuesday - значит Past Simple, если were answered by - значит Passive Voice. Если переводить дословно, то получится: "Много вопросов было отвечено президентом на ежегодной конференции в вторник", просто звучит некрасиво, потому переводить на русский лучше в активе.
The candeles were lighting on the birthday cake when Sam returened from work.
В переводе: "Свечи горели на именинном пироге, когда Сэм пришел с работы".
Предложение целиком относится к описывает одно короткое действие (Past Simple) во время продолжительного (Past Continuous) - все верно.
Every year patriotic songs are heard everywhere in the USA on July 4.
В переводе: "Каждый год патриотические песни слышны в каждом уголке Соединенных Штатов 4 июля".
Если Every year on July 4 - значит постоянное действие, берем Present Simple, если они слышны, а не сами слушают - значит Passive Voice.
