[@franciscodinis3907]

Para compartir. Es falta de respeto dirigirse a un maestro diciéndole "Teacher." Si vas a esos países, nadie lo hace excepto hispano parlantes. Lo correcto es decir Mr. Ogilvie, Miss Sulivan (si es mujer) o Mrs. Sulivan.

Thank you...😊 I am dead-on passionate with my language . I used to prefer exercising in its all various forms. Swimming was one of my all-time favourite pastimes during the summer.🍓

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi Maria, so glad to hear about your passion for language... I think it would be better if you said “I’m dead passionate about my language... “. The rest is spot on! Fab! 👍

[@mariamkinen8036]

Oxford English Now ok. Got it. I just let go off a bit more than usual. That's how I won the straight A's....I was able to take risks by being able to criticise my own work.

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Well done, Maria. I agree, it’s great to try ambitious language. That way you learn faster! Straight A’s! Impressed!

Welcome

[@ismaelrosa8091]

I enjoy walking or taking a walk or habr a walk or going for a walk...If this apparently humble woman made the effort to explain the lesson, use her pieces of advice. It's ok to play your drums to a different march, but if we are learning English, we'd better stick to the lesson. He dicho caso cerrado!

[@oxfordenglishnow]

welcome to my channel!

[@ismaelrosa8091]

One question miss: to be fond of, to be keen on, to be into... are expressions and a phrasal verb which mean more intensity than like?

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi Ismael, yes they are all synonyms of "like." To be fond of is maybe the mildest and has a tender feel. To be into is stronger and then keen on is stronger still. Hope that helps!

[@lashistoriasdeelbarrio6618]

i have a question. we can say: I enjoy to listen to music. Or we only can say it with listening. and another question is: we can say it without say to music. I mean without the to. Thanks.

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi Las, we would say, "I enjoy listening to music." not "to listen" and you need the "to," for "listening to music" and not "listening music." Hope that helps! 🙏

[@lashistoriasdeelbarrio6618]

​@@oxfordenglishnow Thanks. And I have a question. I am sorrry, jejeje. My question is. when we use the verb like or love we can say it with the verb in infinitive. for example. I love to listen to music or I like to write stories. Or we need to say I love listing to music and I like writing stories.
