#LIKE

I’m fairly / pretty keen on... I’m quite / pretty fond of...

I’m really into.,. I'm totally mad about...

I’m quite a big fan of... I simply adore...

I’m quite partial to.,. I’m quite enthusiastic about...

I’m quite passionate about... I generally prefer...

Let’s see the question: "Do you like animals?"

The aim of our answer is to use about 3 or 4 “liking” expressions.

Look at the following answer:

“Well to be quite honest in general I would say that I’m actually quite keen on animals, but in particular I would probably have to say that I’m really into domestic pets like dogs. I guess the reason why I’m a fan of dogs is because I adore their loyalty and companionship. In addition to dogs I suppose I’m also pretty passionate about endangered species, especially dolphins and things like that and this is due to the fact I feel some degree of responsibility to wards wildlife protection. ”

Possible for “liking” questions include:

• 
  Well in general I would say that...
  
• 
  Actually, I suppose that for the most part I’d probably say that...
  
• 
  Well, to be honest 1 should really say that...
  
• 
  Of course I think I'd have to say that...
  
• 
  Certainly I would definitely say that...
  
• 
  Well, I guess that generally speaking I would certainly say that...
  

Then select the first “liking” expression and add the topic word or a general category of the topic.

Example: “Well in general I would say that I’m quite passionate about alian food ...”

Now you need to add a linking word or phrase to introduce a specific type of the topic or category (eg,pizza)

...but in particular… ...to be more precise...

...particularly... ...to be more specific...

...especially... ...to be more exact...

...specifically... ...to be more accurate...

Now add your second “liking” expression with the specific type.

Example: “Well in general I would say that I’m quite passionate about Italian food, to be more specific, I would probably say that I’m really into pizza and pasta.”

Now add a linking phrase to introduce the first reason:

And I guess this is probably because... This could be because...

This might be because... This is due to the fact that.

“Well in general I would say that I’m quite passionate about Italian food; to be more specific I would probably say that I’m really into pizza and pasta. This is mainly because my girlfriend is Italian so she always cooks Italian cuisine at home.”

Now use a linking phrase to introduce your second point.

As well as this... To add to this...

In addition to this...

Use another “liking” expression: “As well as this, I’m quite panial to vegetarian food.”

Now be more specific:

“As well as this, I’m quite partial to vegetarian food especially things like bean curd. This could be because...I’m quite conscious of healthy eating and bean curd is a fat-free food and it’s high in nutritional value.”

So the complete structure looks like this:

“Well to be quite honest, in general I would say that I’m actually quite keen on…, but in particular I would probably have to say that I’m really into...you know, things like...I guess the reason why I’m a fan of...is because I adore...In addition to this I suppose I’m also pretty passionate about..., especially...and things like that, and this is due to the fact that...”

Use the structure above to answer the following questions:

What food do you like? Do you like reading?

What do you like about your hometown? Do you like listening to music?

Do you like shopping? What do you like about your studies / job?
