Man watering( che innaffia) a plant: “I love my plant.”
In today’s lesson(nella lezione di oggi) you will learn(imparerete) how to ask and answer
questions(come chiedere e rispondere) about your preferences, using the verbs like, love and hate.
Before we watch a short movie(prima di vedere un breve filmato), I’ll teach you some vocabulary
which may be new to you:
Man reading: I love reading
Sailing: Do you like sailing(andare in barca)?
To sail is to go out on a boat
Dancing: Does she like dancing?
To dance is to move to music(muoversi con la musica)
Biking: I don’t like biking
To bike is to ride a bicycle
Kayaking: he loves kayaking
To kayak is to row(remare) a small special boat (è una canoa Indiana))
Watch(guarda)
Let’s watch(guardiamo) the movie.
Two friends are talking about activities
- Hey, Angela. I have friends come to visit. I don’t know what (I)should do(non so cosa fare).
Can you help me?
- Sure! What do they like to do(cosa piace loro fare) and how long(per quanto tempo) are they
going to be here?
- Well, they are going to stay a week and they are very active people and really like sailing.
- That’s perfect! I just joined the community building centre (mi sono iscritta al centro
sociale) in June. They can use my membership(iscrizione).
- That’s sounds great!
- There’s also a film festival starting on the 10th . Do they like movies?
- No, they don’t really like the movies but they do like music and dancing. Do you know any
good dance clubs?
- Well, I don’t really like to dance. I’m not the person to ask. Do they like biking or
kayaking?

A man typewriting on keyboard: I hate computers
Let’s talk about the grammar in the movie.
Look at these sentences: “We like chocolate. I love reading. He hates shopping”.
Look at each sentence: what comes after the verb? ...like, love, and hate can be followed(seguiti) by
nouns or verbs.
“We like chocolate” Chocolate is a noun.
“I love reading”. Reading is a verb.
“He hates shopping”. Shopping is also a verb. Look at shopping. Here we use –ing on the end.
You can also say “He hates to shop”. Both sentences are Ok.
Try(prova tu)
It is now your turn(E’ il tuo turno) to practice speaking. I will show you a part of the movie.
Man playing football:” I hate basketball”
Watch the people, then listen to me(guarda le persone, poi ascolta me)).
Repeat what I say (ripeti ciò che dico):
The woman speaking: “Well, they are going to stay a week and they are very active people and
really like sailing.”
They really like sailing.
Repeat that. (you.....)
The woman speaking: “No, they don’t really like the movies but they do like music and dancing. Do
you know any good dance clubs?”
A boy playing a guitar: “Hello. I love you all. I love music. And I really like my guitar.”
They like music and dancing
Repeat that. (you.....)
A woman speaking: “Well, I don’t really like to dance. I’m not the person to ask. Do they like
biking or kayaking?”
Do they like biking or kayaking?
Repeat that. (you.....)
So, today’s review points are (oggi ci siamo soffermati su): talking about preferences using like,
love and hate. Now you know that like, love and hate can be followed by nouns or verbs.
“We like chocolate” “She loves to swim”
Well done(bravi). See you again soon(a presto). Bye!
