Well for starts passive voice is words like: is, was, be etc.
It can be fixed very simply by doing this,
Instead of saying," There IS a ball rolling down a hill." Eliminate the IS by saying something like," He noticed a ball rolling down a hill."
When you first start to do this it can be very tricky but once you get the hang of it if causes your writing to sound much more sophisticated. And it also challenges you to make more complex sentences.

It is important to strike a balance between passive and active voice in writing to maintain clarity and impact.
