opinion. Personally, I think. Personally, I think. This is an informal way to express

concerned, I don't want to eat unhealthy food. Okay let's move on to the next
phrases we will learn today. Next, we will be learning about how to ask for
somebody else's opinion. This is actually important to do before you state your
own. If you want to know somebody else's
opinion you can ask: what do you think of...? What do you think of or what do you
think about? What do you think about this? Is a general phrase for asking an
opinion. You can use this phrase both formally and informally. How do you feel
about...? How do you feel about this? is a more informal phrase you can use with
your friends. What's your opinion of...? What's your opinion of this...? is a general
phrase for asking an opinion both formally and informally.
For example, what do you think of this food? How do you feel about going to see
a movie? What's your opinion of this book? The next phrases we will learn today will
help you talk about things you like. These are some natural sounding phrases
to help you sound more like a native speaker. I love... I love... in English you can
use the word "love" to talk about anything you like very much. I can't get enough of...
I can't get enough of... this is a very enthusiastic expression. It is also
informal and you can use it with your friends. I'm really into... I'm really into...
This is also enthusiastic and informal. For example:
I love dogs. I can't get enough of this ice cream. I'm really into rock music. We
should also learn some phrases to help you talk about things you dislike. Here
are some great ways to express dislike. I don't really like... I don't really like...
This is a neutral and polite phrase. You can use at any time. Something is not my
thing... Something is not my thing... or something is not my style.
Something is not my style... this is a polite way to say that you don't like
something. I'm not into... I'm not into... this is a way of saying you don't like
something, but you might like something similar. For example: I don't really like
spicy food. Jazz music is not my thing. I'm not into basketball. Finally we will
learn about phrases you can use when you react to something another person said.
These phrases are natural ways to express surprise. Really? or ㅉhy? ㅉe say
these phrases with a rising voice. ㅁre you serious? or Seriously?
You can say this when you don't believe something the other person said. Okay
