Alhamdulillahirobbil’alamin, let’s thank unto our god Allah

finding solutions. Be calm and honest about your concerns
when discussing your problems with a loved one.

EXPRESSING LIKES AND DISLIKES

To talk about your likes and dislikes, you can use these expressions.
Expressing likes:

 I like…
 I love...
 I adore…
 I ‘m crazy about…
 I’m mad about…
 I enjoy…
 I’m keen on…

Expressing dislikes:

 I don’t like…

 I hate…

  I abhor…
 I can’t bear...
 I can’t stand…
 I detest...
 I loathe...

 Examples of likes and dislikes :

I'm mad about basketball, but I can’t bear ice hockey.

I adore reading poetry, but I loathe doing the housework.
If you neither like nor dislike something:

"I don't mind doing the housework."

Things to remember about likes and dislikes:

1. When these expressions are followed by a verb, the latter is put in

the -ing form.
Examples:

"I like listening to music."

"I hate wearing sunglasses."
I like
I detest VERB+ING
I don't mind

2. Note that" very much" & " a lot" always come after the things
you like.
Examples:

 "I like basketball very much/a lot. NOT" I like very much/a lot
basketball."

19 | G E N T A D I P L O M A - S P E A K I N G
3. Be careful when you use "I don't mind..."
Examples:

"Do you mind playing football?"

"No, I don't mind."(Although it's in a negative form, it means that it's
ok for me. I neither love it nor hate it.)
Dialogue:Steve is at home. His girlfriend comes in...Notice how they
express their likes and dislikes

Hello, darling. Do you fancy watching a film

Steve:
tonight?
Oh, no thanks, I don't really feel like watching a film
Girlfriend:
tonight. How about going out instead.
Steve: OK. Do you feel like going to the theater?
Oh, no. I hate it. Do you like eating at the new
Girlfriend:
Chinese restaurant?
Steve: I don't mind. The Chinese cuisine is alright.
Girlfriend: Well I really love it. Let's go.

COMPLAINING

What are complaints?

Complaints are expressions of "displeasure or annoyance" in

response to an action that is seen by the speaker as unfavorable.
Suppose you want to complain about the pizza you have just ordered
because it's too salty, what are the expressions needed to express and
respond to complaints?

20 | G E N T A D I P L O M A - S P E A K I N G
Complaining:

Here are expressions you can use when complaining:

 I have a complaint to make. ...

 Sorry to bother you but...
 I'm sorry to say this but...
 I'm afraid I've got a complaint about...
 I'm afraid there is a slight problem with...
 Excuse me but there is a problem about...
 I want to complain about...
 I'm angry about...

Responding to complaints

 Positive response to complaints:

 I'm so sorry, but this will never occur / happen again.

I'm sorry, we promise never to do the same mistake again.

 I'm really sorry; we'll do our utmost/best not to do the same

mistake again.
Negative response to complaints:

 Sorry there is nothing we can do about it.

 I'm afraid; there isn't much we can do about it.

21 | G E N T A D I P L O M A - S P E A K I N G
  We are sorry but the food is just alright.

Things to remember about complaints:

When expressing a complaint in English, it helps to be polite.

Although "I'm angry about your pizza. It's too salty" is one
possible way of expressing a complaint, it is considered too rude and
you'd better use more polite expressions if you want to get what you
want!
Let’s have some dialogues! (Listen to the audio)
Not Enough Options.
Elan : Are you ready to order, Sir?
Richie : I wanted to try something new today, but I don't see

that are listed here. I was looking to explore new ones.
Elan : Let me to talk to the chef. I’m sure he can suggest
something.
Richie : No.That’s okay. Let me just suggest that you add some more
food variety to your menu. I haven’t seen any changes in it,
for a while now.

definitely take your suggestion to the manager.

chicken is not well-cooked.
Sam : I really apologize for this mistake. Allow me to get you a
better dish.
Elan : That’s alright, but you people have been running this
restaurant for so long! Usually such things do not happen
here.
Sam : It’s a random mistake. I apologize on behalf of my chef.
Elan : I would appreciate if you can replace it with a well-cooked
dish.
Sam : Sure. Thank you for your patience.
It Is Taking Too Long!
