Part 1:
Read the following two pages in Jane’s diary. Then, make a list of all the
expressions she uses to express what she (or her best friend Rebecca) likes
and does not like.
September 2
nd
, 2010.
Today I went shopping with
Rebecca! We are crazy about
shopping! We love buying new
clothes.
Then we went to the zoo because
we are both fond of animals. I
love dolphins. I enjoy watching
them swim and jump! Rebecca
likes monkeys very much. She
thinks they are funny! I don’t like
them very much. In my opinion,
they are a little silly.
Rebecca and I don’t like insects
and spiders at all. In fact, we
can’t stand them!
I know that my neighbour John
doesn’t mind having a spider on
his hand. Actually, scaring girls
with spiders is his favourite hobby!
He is also into video games and
sports. His favourite sport is
football. I hate that sport! To me, it
is the most stupid sport! I don’t
really like playing football with him:
he never passes me the ball!
