M - today we’re talking about... LIKES AND DISLIKES !

C - There are so many different ways to express your likes and dislikes in English! Marta, for example, tell us something that you like.

M - I like cats, well actually I LOVE cats, I ADORE kittens and I AM NUTS ABOUT big cats, like tigers, lions, leopards, jaguars, cougars...

C - Ok, ok, we got it, you made it clear...darling.

M - I'm sorry, it's just that cats DRIVE ME CRAZY and I can't stop talking about 'em.

C - I know, you're ADDICTED TO cats. And what do you like doing?

M - I ENJOY traveling and going to concerts. The best thing for me is a special place. A place where I can enjoy my vacation and see a great concert at the same time!

C - That reminds me of your trip to Florida and the Bon Jovi concert in Tampa Bay! Or your trip to Madrid to see the Train concert. What a great life you have!

M - Yep! Bon Jovi and Train are my FAVORITE bands! I'm CRAZY ABOUT them!

C - You're right, they are amazing. Ok, so far we’ve used verbs and expressions like to adore, to be nuts about, to be crazy about, to enjoy, to be addicted to.., your favorite... etc. Now let's talk about dislikes instead.

M - I CAN'T BEAR the cold, I CAN'T PUT UP WITH people who are always late.

C - Oh, I hate that.

M - I'm FED UP WITH T.V. commercials and I HATE bugs.

C - I'm with you on the bug thing. Wow, it seems that you know quite well what ANNOYS you! Can you think of any other examples?

M - (singing) I CAN'T STAND the rain against my window...

C - Beautiful, right!

M - (singing) I'm SICK and TIRED of always being sick and tired...

C - That's great. Songs are always a precious help in remembering useful expressions!

M - I totally agree with you.

C - Ok, then, in order to express your dislikes you can use : I can't stand, I can't bear, I can't put up with... , I'm fed up with..., I'm sick of.. I'm tired of... it annoys me...

M - Now we have a very special guest, talking about her likes and dislikes. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Brianna!

Brianna: Hey everybody, I’m Bri and I’m from Michigan. Ok, three things I like. I like to play soccer. It's definitely my favorite sport. I love scoring a goal for my team. I also like my phone, I don’t think I could live without it! I would talk on it all day if I could. Another thing I like to do is travel. It’s so nice to be able to get away. I went to Italy a couple of years ago, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! Now, three things I don’t like. I definitely do not like spiders. I am scared to death of them! I’m not a big fan of homework, either. I would much rather be outside, especially when it’s nice out! I also can’t stand when my parents are over controlling! It’s so annoying. I’m a teenager, give me a break ! Well, anyway, that's about it. It's been nice joining you guys in this episode of my American friend. See ya!

C - Thank you Brianna!! It was nice to listen to a teenager from Michigan. And folks, that is another regional American accent to familiarize yourself with!

M - Thanks a lot, my dear Bri. Now Cindy, it's your turn. Tell us something you like and something you don't.

C – Something I like...well, I adore olives. I love flowers-any kind. I’m happiest when I'm being creative and constructive. I enjoy cooking any kind of food, especially if it’s not American. I like a challenge! That’s it. I’m a pretty simple gal !
And you want to know my dislikes? Well, I can’t stand people who talk too much, specifically those without anything useful to say. You know the ones that just want to hear the sound of their own voice? And currently, my neighbor’s dog is driving me up the wall! I’m starting to think my neighbor’s dog just likes to hear the sound of his own bark!
