Hi everyone! Can you believe that it is already the middle of October? The month is truly flying by.
Many students are bored of using the expression "I like." Students often say that they feel they overuse this word! That is why October's Theme Thursday looks at Expressions for Showing Interest.
Last week we looked at TO BE KEEN ON. Click on the following link to see that lesson.

This week we are looking at TO BE FOND OF (SOMEONE/SOMETHING).
Definition: to like something.
Example 1: I am fond of Japanese food.
Example 2: I'm not too fond of spicy food.
Example 3: She has always been fond of songs by the Beatles.
We follow this word with a GERUND when we are using a verb.
