And for very strong dislikes:


I totally detest…
I absolutely loathe…
I really can’t stand…


In your answer, try to use a “dislike” and a “strong dislike“ phrase. Use the same style of structure as the “liking” answer but change the linking phrases:


A sample answer:

“Is there anything you don’t like about your hometown?”

“Of course I think I’d have to say that I’m not so keen on the weather. To be more precise, I really can’t stand the summer months. This is due to the fact that the temperature can get as high as 40 degrees so it can be quite uncomfortable if you don’t have air conditioning in your house. In addition to this, I’m not really that fond of the public transport system. And I guess this is probably because the buses are too old and the seats are really hard, so long journeys are usually pretty bumpy.”

Some questions to answer using this structure:


Is there anything you don’t like about your school/studies?
Is there any food you don’t like?
What’s the worst thing about shopping?
Are there any clothes that you don’t like?
What type of weather do you dislike?

Ok, certainly…

…there’s quite a mixed variety of…

…there’s quite a wide range of…
…there’s a fairly broad range of…
…there’s quite an extensive diversity of…
…there’s quite a diverse mixture of…
