Hi Kevin This is Fredy

Hi Kevin, maybe I will have a lot of mistakes because I had never heard about passive voice before Tuesday class, but for me it is getting interesting, so I wanna try to write, and we will see what happen.
In Colombia, the president is elected by the people every four years. The president just can be re-elected one time. If the law is broken by the president, her or him can be removed by the people from the office. In the history of Colombia, no presidents have been removed form the office, despite many more having broken laws(I do not know how to make these sentences passive even I do not find sense).
In Colombia most people are employed by the industries Ecopetrol and Bancolombia. A lot of cafe is produced by Colombia. Around the word the cafe is exports, and technology is imports by USA.
Spanish is most spoken in Colombia by people, but Portuguese and English are a lot also spoken.
For lunch rise is usually eaten by people. on the other hand, Fast foot is prefered for dinner. during dinner weather and education are concerned by the people, politic and topicality are often discusses by families.

Fredy,

Okay, let's look at the passive voice you have written. It looks pretty correct to me.

corrections are these:

-wanna- want to (wannna is okay for speaking, but in writing it is very informal)

him or her- he or she

This is 100% correct (no errors):In the history of Colombia, no presidents have been removed form the office, despite many more having broken laws(I do not know how to make these sentences passive even I do not find sense).

cafe- coffee

the cafe- coffee (no "the")

is export- is exported

a lot also spoken- also spoken a lot

rise- rice

weather and education are concerned- people are concerned about weather and education

-politic and topicality are often discusses- politics and current events are often discussed

-fast foot is preferred for dinner- I hope not!
