Let’s learn to say what we like and dislike. If you like something, ‘I really like this!’ If not, ‘I don’t like this much.’ Asked your favourite food, ‘I love dosa and sambar.’ Asked what you do in free time, ‘I like listening to music and reading. I enjoy watching films and walking.’ Share your likes like this and people will get to know you quickly!
