  • Hello. My name is Emma, and in today's lesson, I'm going to teach you some new words you

  • can use to say: "like" and "don't like". Okay? So, one thing I notice with a lot of students

  • is they always say: "I like Justin Bieber.", "I don't like Justin Bieber.", "I like movies.",

  • "I don't like movies." It gets a little bit boring. Okay? It's... If you're always using

  • this word... There's no problem with the word "like", but it does get a little bit boring.

  • So, today, I'm going to teach you some new expressions that are more exciting, that mean

  • the same thing. So, let's look at some of these words. Okay. So, I have here the word:

  • "I like reading." This is something I love doing. And then I wrote something I don't

  • like. "I don't like cooking." I'm terrible at cooking, and it's actually one of the things

  • I really, really do not like in my life.

  • I want you to think about something you like and something you don't like. Maybe you like

  • movies. Maybe you don't like winter or cold. Okay? So think about one thing you like, and

  • one thing you don't like. Okay. Once you have that in your mind, I want you to follow me

  • as I teach you some words to describe your feelings. Okay?

  • So, the first word we can use when we talk about like is "enjoy". For example: I enjoy

  • reading. I enjoy movies. I enjoy shopping. I love reading. I am passionate about reading.

  • For this one, it means very strong like; you really, really like something. You are passionate

  • about reading. Okay? And I do really like reading a lot, so I would use this.

  • Please pay attention to the preposition that goes with this. "I am passionate about" something.

  • Are you passionate about music? Are you passionate about Justin Bieber? Or maybe you're passionate

  • about the Beetles, or Taylor Swift. Maybe you don't like them at all. But think about

  • something you're passionate about.

  • We can also use the word: "I am fond of reading." I am fond of reading. Similarly, I am a fan

  • of reading. I am a fan of hockey. I am a fan of soccer. I am a fan of baseball. I am a

  • fan of Canada. Okay? So, again, this means you really like something. "I am interested

  • in..." I am interested in shopping. If you like a guy or a girl, you can also use this

  • too, for someone you have a crush on. I'm interested in Brad Pitt. I'm interested in...

  • Not Justin Bieber, but I can't think of any other names. I'm interested in Bob.

  • "I am into..." I am into scuba diving. I am into travelling. I'm into going to the beach.

  • Okay? So, again, all of these mean the same thing, pretty much as "like" or "love".

  • So, now, let's look at some words that have the opposite meaning: don't like. Okay? And

  • like I told you before, I don't like cooking. I hate cooking. Now, if you want to sound

  • like an academic at an academic level, we also have this word "loathe", and it means

  • hate like a lot. You really, really hate something; you loathe it. Not love it. Loathe. Okay.

  • You can't stand it. I can't stand cooking. I am not much of a fan of cooking. Cooking

  • drives me crazy. I am sick of cooking. I am tired of cooking. Cooking is not my cup of

  • tea. So this one, actually, I really like. It's a very strange expression: "Not my cup

  • of tea", and it means you don't like something. Justin Bieber is not my cup of tea. You know,

  • certain types of food, they're not my cup of tea. Okay? "Not my cup of tea." And again,

  • this has nothing to do with tea; it actually just means you don't like something. You can

  • also say: "It's not my thing." Cooking is not my thing. Playing video games is not my

  • thing. Okay? So just some examples, here.

  • So, when you're speaking to your friends, when you're talking maybe in class, I want

  • you to try to use some of these words just so you're not always saying: "I like, I don't

  • like". These will make your vocabulary a lot more interesting.

  • Now, there's one other thing I wanted to tell you about these words, and that's, looking

  • at my example here, when you have two verbs in a sentence, when you have verb one, verb

  • two, something has to happen to the second verb. Either the second verb is going to end

  • in "ing" or it will end in "to" verb. Now, for those of you who maybe this is a little

  • bit too advanced, don't worry about this. For those of you at an advanced level, I'm

  • just going to make a point. Pretty much all of these, if you have a verb here, it's going

  • to end in "ing". So: "I enjoy making. I love listening. I am passionate about..." All of

  • these, the second verb will be an "ing". Okay?

  • So, I hope you come visit our website at www.engvid.com. Also, I hope you subscribe to my YouTube channel.

  • I am very passionate about teaching English. I hope you are a fan of engVid. I hope you

  • enjoy taking our quiz. And I invite you, so you can test out these expressions, come practice

  • them. So, until next time, take care.

Hello. My name is Emma, and in today's lesson, I'm going to teach you some new words you
