Hello everyone and welcome back to Pod
00:10
and Chill, the channel where learning
00:12
English is not only easy but also fun.
00:15
My name is Gwen and I'm so happy to be
00:19
here with you today.
00:22
>> Hello Gwen, and hello to all our
00:24
wonderful friends around the world. I'm
00:27
Leo. How are you doing today, Gwen?
00:29
>> I'm doing really great, Leo. It always
00:32
makes me happy to join you and talk with
00:35
our friends.
00:38
What about you?
00:39
>> I'm very good. Thank you. I feel excited
00:41
and ready for another fun episode.
00:44
>> Me, too. But before we get started, we
00:46
just want to say a big thank you to all
00:50
of you for listening and supporting our
00:52
channel. If you enjoy learning with us,
00:55
please share this video with your
00:58
friends.
01:00
>> Yes. And don't forget to subscribe and
01:01
give us a like. It really helps us grow
01:04
and keeps us motivated to make more
01:07
lessons for you.
01:10
>> Exactly. Every little bit of support
01:12
means a lot.
01:15
>> So, are you ready for today's topic?
01:16
>> Absolutely. Today's topic is going to be
01:20
a fun one. We are going to talk about
01:22
things we like to do.
01:25
>> That's such a great topic. In English,
01:27
one of the most common and useful
01:30
questions is, "What do you like to do?"
01:32
>> Yes. It's a perfect way to start a
01:36
conversation and get to know someone
01:39
better.
01:41
So, let me ask you first. What do you
01:43
like to do, Leo?
01:47
>> Hm, that's a very good question. I
01:49
actually like many things. For example,
01:52
one of my favorites is listening to
01:55
music. I like to listen because it helps
01:57
me relax and learn at the same time.
02:00
>> Oh, nice. And to say you like something,
02:03
you can use the phrase I like to
02:07
followed by the action.
02:12
>> For example, I like to listen to music.
02:14
That's perfect.
02:18
>> Exactly.
02:19
I like to listen to music. Or you can
02:21
also say I like listening to music. Both
02:24
are correct.
02:28
>> Yes. I like to listen to music or I like
02:30
listening to music. Very good. What kind
02:33
of music do you like to listen to?
02:36
>> I like pop songs. Fun and happy songs.
02:38
They always give me energy.
02:43
And you? Do you like to listen to music?
02:46
>> I do. I like to listen to music a lot. I
02:49
like listening in the morning while I
02:53
drink my coffee. It makes me feel
02:55
relaxed and ready for the day.
02:57
>> Ah, music and coffee. A perfect morning.
03:00
So friends, you can say I like to listen
03:05
to music or I like listening to music.
03:09
>> You can also connect it with another
03:14
activity like drinking coffee. What
03:16
about other things, Gwen? What else do
03:19
you like to do?
03:21
>> Well, I really like to ride my bicycle
03:22
in the evening. The fresh air, the quiet
03:25
streets, it feels amazing.
03:29
>> Riding a bike is great. So, you say, "I
03:32
like to ride my bike." Good. Do you ride
03:35
every day?
03:38
>> I try to. Not every day, but maybe three
03:39
times a week. It makes me feel free.
03:43
That's wonderful. Feeling free is
03:48
important. We can use another word for
03:50
like. We can say enjoy. For example, I
03:53
enjoy riding my bicycle in the evening.
03:56
>> Oh yes, enjoy is a great word. It sounds
03:59
a little stronger like you really really
04:03
like it. I enjoy riding.
04:07
>> Exactly. With the word enjoy, we usually
04:11
use the action with ing at the end. For
04:14
example, I enjoy swimming. I enjoy
04:18
riding. I enjoy speaking.
04:20
>> That's a great tip, Leo. So, I can say,
04:23
I enjoy drinking tea in the afternoon.
04:26
>> Perfect. Yes. Wow, your afternoon sounds
04:30
very relaxing, Gwen.
04:34
>> It is. What about you, Leo? What do you
04:36
enjoy doing?
04:40
>> I enjoy playing the guitar.
04:42
>> Really? Wow. I'm not very good with
04:44
instruments.
04:48
>> It's fun. I enjoy learning new songs.
04:49
It's not always easy, but it's very
04:52
rewarding. M the guitar. I enjoy
04:55
listening to guitar music.
04:58
>> See, we all have something we enjoy. So,
05:00
to our friends, you can say, "I like
05:04
playing the guitar." or I enjoy playing
05:07
the guitar. What kind of music do you
05:11
play, Leo? Is it your favorite?
05:14
>> Yes, I think so. I enjoy playing simple
05:18
folk songs. They sound very nice.
05:22
>> That sounds wonderful. Maybe you can
05:25
play a song for me one day.
05:28
>> Of course, I would enjoy that. What
05:31
about movies, Gwen? Do you like to watch
05:33
movies?
05:36
>> Oh, I love movies. See, we have like
05:37
enjoy and now love. Love is very strong.
05:40
>> Yes, I love movies. It means you like
05:47
them very very much.
05:50
>> Exactly. I love watching comedies.
05:52
They always make me laugh.
05:56
>> I can imagine. I love movies too. I love
05:59
watching science fiction. They are so
06:02
exciting.
06:04
>> Ah, science fiction is fun. So for our
06:05
friends you can say I love and then the
06:09
thing I love movies or I love watching
06:12
comedies.
06:16
>> Yes, it's easy. I love pizza. I love
06:17
sunny days. I love holidays.
06:21
>> Oh, I definitely love holidays. Who
06:24
doesn't?
06:27
>> True. Weekends are the best. What do you
06:28
like to do on weekends, Gwen?
06:31
>> On weekends, I like to bake cakes.
06:33
Sometimes I try new recipes from the
06:37
internet like carrot cake or banana
06:39
bread. Other times I just make a simple
06:42
chocolate cake at home. It makes the
06:46
whole house smell so good.
06:48
>> Baking is great. So you say, "I like to
06:51
bake cakes." That's a perfect example.
06:55
What kind of cakes do you love the most?
06:58
>> I love fruit cakes. The sweetness of the
07:01
fruit makes them taste so fresh.
07:04
I also enjoy decorating them with cream
07:08
and strawberries. It feels creative,
07:10
almost like art.
07:14
>> Fruit cakes are delicious. I enjoy them,
07:16
too. But I also like cheesecakes. You
07:19
know, rich and creamy. Sometimes one
07:22
small piece is never enough.
07:25
>> Oh, cheesecakes are amazing. My cousin
07:27
absolutely loves cheesecakes. So, we can
07:31
say, "I like fruit cakes." Or, "I love
07:35
cheesecakes."
07:39
It's a good way to talk about food and
07:40
tastes.
07:43
>> Yes, exactly. Food is always a fun
07:44
topic.
07:47
>> What about sports, Leo? Do you like to
07:48
play sports?
07:51
>> I do. I like to play basketball. It's
07:53
exciting and it keeps me healthy. It's
07:56
also a lot of fun to play with friends
07:59
on the weekend.
08:02
>> Basketball?
08:03
Wow.
08:05
Are you good at it?
08:07
>> I think I'm okay. I'm not the best
08:09
player, but I really enjoy playing.
08:11
That's the important part for me to
08:14
enjoy the game.
08:16
>> That is the most important part. So, you
08:18
can say I like to play basketball or I
08:21
enjoy playing basketball.
08:26
Both are correct and easy to use.
08:28
>> Correct. And you, Gwen, do you like
08:32
sports?
08:34
>> H I don't play sports very much, but I
08:36
like to watch swimming on TV. The races
08:40
are so fast and the swimmers are so
08:44
strong. It's exciting to watch them
08:47
compete.
08:50
>> Ah, watching sports is fun, too. So,
08:52
here's a question for our friends. Do
08:54
you like to play sports or watch sports?
08:57
>> That's a great question for them. And
09:00
remember, if you want to say something
09:03
negative,
09:06
it's very simple. For example, I can
09:07
say, I don't like to play sports.
09:12
>> To make it negative, we just add don't.
09:15
>> Yes, exactly.
09:19
I like to play basketball. The negative
09:21
is I don't like to play basketball.
09:24
>> Simple. I like juice. I don't like soda.
09:28
>> Perfect example.
09:32
>> But I like soda though.
09:34
>> I know. So, we have talked about
09:35
reading, cycling, baking, music, food,
09:38
and sports.
09:41
>> Wow. We like a lot of things. We do.
09:42
What about spending time with people? Do
09:47
you enjoy that? Of course, I love
09:50
spending time with my family and
09:54
friends. We often have dinner together
09:56
and share stories about our week. It's
09:58
very special.
10:01
>> Me, too. It's very important. So, you
10:02
can say, "I love spending time with my
10:06
family."
10:09
>> Yes.
10:11
>> On the weekend, I like to visit my
10:12
grandparents. We sit in the garden,
10:15
drink tea, and talk about old memories.
10:18
It's very nice.
10:21
>> That sounds lovely. I like to meet my
10:23
neighbors for tea. We talk, laugh, and
10:26
sometimes play cards together. It's
10:29
always a lot of fun.
10:31
>> I like to meet my neighbors. That's a
10:33
great sentence.
10:35
It's a common and friendly activity.
10:38
>> It is. So, let's review a little. We
10:42
have some key phrases. I like to. I
10:45
enjoy. I love.
10:49
>> And for the negative,
10:52
I don't like.
10:54
>> Perfect.
10:56
>> And we can use an action or a verb in
10:57
two ways.
11:00
>> For example, I like to play or I like
11:02
playing.
11:05
>> Yes, that's a very useful tip. Both are
11:05
correct and people will understand you
11:09
perfectly.
11:12
>> Let's think of more examples. What about
11:14
animals, Gwen? Do you like animals? I
11:17
love animals.
11:20
I have a rabbit. His name is Snow. He
11:22
has white fur and long ears. He loves to
11:26
hop around the garden.
11:29
>> A rabbit. I love rabbits. I don't have a
11:32
pet, but I like them a lot. They are so
11:35
soft and gentle.
11:38
>> Snow is very cute. I enjoy playing with
11:40
him. He jumps, runs, and sometimes hides
11:43
behind the sofa.
11:48
He is very funny.
11:49
>> Ah, that's nice. So, I enjoy playing
11:52
with my rabbit. That's a perfect
11:55
sentence.
11:58
>> What about fish, Leo? Do you like fish?
11:59
>> Oh, I love fish. Watching them swim in
12:03
the water is so relaxing. They look calm
12:06
and beautiful.
12:09
>> Me, too. I love fish. When I was a
12:10
child, I had a small fish tank in my
12:15
room. I could watch them for hours.
12:18
Where do you like to see fish, Leo?
12:22
>> I like to go to the aquarium. The
12:25
colors, the movement, the big tanks.
12:27
It's amazing. It always makes me feel
12:30
peaceful.
12:33
>> I agree. I love the aquarium. I also
12:34
enjoy watching fish in a pond at the
12:38
park. They look so free in the water.
12:41
>> Yes, fish are beautiful. So, our friends
12:45
can say, "I like fish." Or they can be
12:48
more specific. I like rabbits. I like
12:52
watching fish.
12:55
>> Exactly. It's always good to add
12:56
details. It makes the conversation more
12:59
interesting.
13:02
>> True. What is a place you would love to
13:04
visit, Gwen? H I would love to visit
13:06
France for the bakeries. Fresh
13:10
croissants, baguettes, and cakes. They
13:13
all look so delicious.
13:16
>> The croissants? I understand.
13:19
>> How about you, Leo? Where would you like
13:22
to visit?
13:25
>> I would love to visit Australia. I think
13:26
it's a very beautiful country with
13:29
amazing beaches.
13:31
>> Oh, Australia's amazing. A friend of
13:33
mine went there and she loved it. She
13:36
said the people were kind and the nature
13:39
was stunning.
13:42
>> So, we can also talk about things we
13:43
want to do in the future. We use I would
13:46
love to.
13:49
>> Yes, that's a great phrase for dreams
13:51
and future plans. For example, I would
13:53
love to learn to paint pictures. It
13:57
would be wonderful to create my own art.
14:00
>> Oh, would you? That's cool.
14:03
>> Yes, I think so. It's not easy,
14:06
but I would love to learn.
14:09
>> What about you? Is there something you
14:12
would love to learn? I would love to
14:15
learn how to play the piano. It's such a
14:17
beautiful instrument.
14:20
>> It is. So, I would love to learn the
14:21
piano.
14:26
This is a fantastic way to talk about
14:27
your goals.
14:30
>> Yes. Our friends can think about what
14:32
they would love to do or learn. It's a
14:34
great exercise.
14:37
>> What do you like to do in the evenings,
14:39
Leo?
14:41
>> After work.
14:42
>> In the evenings, I like to relax.
14:44
Sometimes I play simple games on my
14:47
phone.
14:49
>> Me, too. I enjoy playing a small game
14:50
before I go to sleep. It helps me feel
14:53
calm. It's a nice way to end the day. I
14:56
also like to listen to short podcasts.
15:00
>> Oh, really? Any specific podcast?
15:04
>> Well, I hear pod and chill is very good.
15:07
>> I hear that, too. So, to our friends,
15:10
you can say, "I like to listen to
15:13
podcasts."
15:16
>> We hope you do.
15:18
>> We do.
15:19
>> Okay, let's think about another topic.
15:21
What about shopping? Do you like
15:24
shopping, Gwen? That's an interesting
15:26
question. I don't love shopping for
15:29
clothes. It can be tiring.
15:31
>> I agree. So, you can say, "I don't
15:35
really like shopping for clothes."
15:37
>> Yes, exactly.
15:40
But I do like shopping for fruit. I can
15:42
spend a long time in the market choosing
15:46
apples and bananas.
15:49
>> Ah, that's different. I understand that.
15:51
I like shopping for bread. Going to the
15:54
bakery and choosing fresh bread is
15:57
always nice.
15:59
>> Oh, that's great. It's part of the
16:00
simple joys you enjoy so much.
16:03
>> Exactly. It's all connected.
16:07
>> So, let's give our friends a little
16:10
challenge, Leo.
16:12
>> Okay. I like challenges. What is it?
16:14
>> Let's try to make sentences about a
16:18
person named Alex. We can say what Alex
16:20
likes and doesn't like.
16:24
>> Great idea. I'll start. Alex likes to
16:26
drink tea in the morning.
16:30
>> Okay. And Alex loves eating sandwiches
16:32
for lunch.
16:35
>> Good one. Alex doesn't like milk. In the
16:36
evening, Alex loves to watch cartoons,
16:40
>> but he doesn't like cleaning his room.
16:43
Nobody likes cleaning their room.
16:46
This is a great exercise. Our friends
16:49
can do this too. They can write about a
16:51
friend, a family member, or even
16:54
themselves.
16:56
>> Yes, it's a very good way to practice.
16:57
Use likes, enjoys, loves, and doesn't
17:00
like. Okay, let's talk about seasons.
17:04
Do you have a favorite season, Leo?
17:09
>> Oh, yes. I love summer. I like the long
17:12
sunny days. Summer is great. I like
17:15
summer, too. But I think I love winter.
17:19
I love the cool air and the chance to
17:23
drink hot chocolate.
17:26
>> Winter is beautiful, so I love summer. I
17:29
love winter. You can also talk about the
17:32
weather you like.
17:35
>> For example, I like sunny days and I
17:36
don't like windy days. Some people like
17:40
rainy days. They enjoy staying at home
17:43
with a book and a cup of tea.
17:46
>> That's true. I enjoy that too sometimes.
17:50
>> So, it's okay to like different things.
17:53
Of course, that's what makes people
17:57
interesting.
18:00
[Music]
18:01
>> Let's summarize one more time the key
18:04
phrases for our friends because this is
18:07
very important.
18:09
>> Good idea. The most common way to say
18:11
you like something is I like.
18:14
>> So I like pizza or I like to walk. And
18:17
if you want to say it a little stronger,
18:21
you can say I enjoy.
18:25
>> And remember to use the verb with ing. I
18:28
enjoy walking.
18:31
>> And for something you like very very
18:32
much, you say I love it. I love my
18:35
family. I love learning English.
18:41
>> Yes, that's a great one. And for the
18:44
negative, I don't like I don't like cold
18:47
weather.
18:50
>> Fantastic.
18:51
And we also learned how to talk about
18:53
our dreams for the future.
18:55
>> Yes, I would love to. I would love to
18:58
travel to a new country. These are
19:00
really useful phrases.
19:02
>> You can use them every day in many
19:04
different conversations.
19:07
They really are. And it's a great way to
19:09
start a conversation with a new friend.
19:12
Just ask, "What do you like to do?"
19:15
>> Exactly. And then you can listen and
19:18
find things you have in common.
19:22
>> Yes. Maybe you both like the same kind
19:24
of music or movies.
19:27
>> It's a perfect way to connect with
19:29
people.
19:31
>> Wow, Gwen, we talked about so many
19:32
things we like to do.
19:35
>> We did. It was a fun conversation.
19:36
I feel like I know you even better now,
19:41
Leo.
19:44
>> Me too, Gwen. It was great. I think our
19:46
friends now have many tools to talk
19:49
about what they like.
19:51
>> I think so, too. Practice is key. Try to
19:53
use these phrases this week.
19:58
>> Talk to a friend or just practice by
20:00
yourself.
20:03
>> Yes, that's the best advice.
20:04
Well, I think that's all the time we
20:07
have for today.
20:09
>> This was so much fun.
20:10
>> It really was.
20:12
>> Thank you for the great conversation,
20:14
Gwen.
20:16
>> Thank you, Leo.
20:18
>> And a big thank you to all of you for
20:19
listening to us today on Pod and Chill.
20:21
>> We hope you enjoyed it. Don't forget to
20:24
subscribe to our channel so you don't
20:27
miss our next episodes.
20:29
>> Yes. And please share this episode with
20:32
your friends and family who are also
20:35
learning English.
20:37
>> And we have a question for you. Please
20:38
leave a comment below and tell us what
20:42
do you like to do.
20:45
>> We would love to read your answers. It
