Talking about likes and dislikes in
English
There's a whole range of English expressions you can use to talk about
how much you like or dislike something.

If you love something

"I love eating ice-cream."

"I adore sun-bathing."

"She's mad about that new boy band."

"He's crazy about that girl."

If you like something a lot

"She's fond of chocolate."

"I like swimming very much."

"He really likes that new golf course." (Remember to stress "really" in this
sentence.)

If you like something

"He quite likes going to the cinema."

"I like cooking."

If you neither like nor dislike something

"I don't mind doing the housework."

In reply to a question if you like something or not, you can say:

"I don't really care either way."
"It's all the same to me."

If you don't like something

"She doesn't like cooking very much."
"He's not very fond of doing the gardening."

"He's not a great fan of football."

"Horse-riding isn't really his thing."

"I dislike wasting time."

If you really dislike something

"I don't like sport at all."

"He can't stand his boss."

"She can't bear cooking in a dirty kitchen."

"I hate crowded supermarkets."

"He detests being late."

"She loathes celery."

Things to remember
Dislike is quite formal.

Fond of is normally used to talk about food or people.

The 'oa' in loathe rhymes with the 'oa' in boat.

Grammar Note
To talk about your general likes or dislikes, follow this
pattern: like something or like doing something.

Remember that "I'd like..." is for specific present or future wishes.

"I like swimming" = I like swimming generally.
"I'd like to go swimming this afternoon" = I want to go swimming at a
specific time in the future.

Common mistake
Be careful where you put very much or a lot. These words should
go after the thing that you like.
For example, "I like reading very much." NOT "I like very much reading."
Talking About Your Hobbies In
English
When you want to get to know someone, ask about their hobbies and
interests. Talking about hobbies means you can share details about
yourself - and discover shared interests and free-time activities.

Here are some phrases you can use:

I relax by watching TV / listening to music, etc.
My hobbies are bird-watching / playing sport, etc.

I'm interested in (+ noun / gerund)

I'm keen on (+ noun / gerund)
I'm into (+ noun / gerund)
I enjoy (+ noun / gerund)

You can add "really" or "quite" after "I'm..." for emphasis.

"I'm really keen on football."
"I'm really into geneaology."

Talking about hobbies in more detail

You can give more information about your hobbies and interests:

"I like arts and crafts. I'm a creative / practical person, and like doing
things with my hands."

"I'm an outgoing person, and like socialising / hanging out with friends."

"I enjoy being physically active, and spend a lot of time playing sports and
team games."
Saying why you like your hobby
You can also explain why you spend time on your hobby to make the
conversation longer and more interesting.

...it keeps me fit.

...it gets me out of the house, you know!
...it's sociable. I've met lots of new people.
...it gives me something interesting to do with my time.
...it's not very expensive, and anyone can do it!

"My hobbies are all creative..."

... I've always enjoyed painting and drawing.

... Because my job is technical, it's good to spend time doing something
completely different.
... I enjoy spending time making things like clothes.
