It is believed by most IELTS and TOEFL essay graders that this is a bad opening sentence. The reason for this is that it unnecessarily uses a passive form. They recommend using the active voice unless there is a purpose to the passive.

In this video, we will look at the construction of the passive in all tenses and in combination with other structures. We will also look at the main reasons to use the passive, such as for variety, as a cohesive device, and others.

It is very important not only to know how to use this structure, but when to use it.
