Likes and Dislikes Reading

Hello, Friends!

I am Linda and I’m 16 years old. I am from Ireland, Today I’m writing about the things that I like and thing that I don’t like.

It isn’t easy because there are too many things that I like and some things that I don’t like. That’s why I am going to write about  three  or four topics.

Entertainment

I really like listening to music, I like different types of music but I am crazy for electronic music, my favorite DJ’s are Robin Schulz and  Calvin Harris.

I also like watching TV and movies. I like drama movies and sitcoms such as two and half men and the Bing Bang Theory. Sometimes I like to go out with my school friends.  We go to the movie theater and the mall.

Food

First, let’s talk about food and drinks. I don’t like fish very much, but I like meat. I really like fast food such as pizza, hamburgers and french fries but my favorite snacks are pizza and hamburgers.

Pizza is delicious with coke, but I prefer lemonade and orange juice than coke.

I also like white coffee. I hate alcoholic drinks! When it comes to fruit. I really adore grapes, but pears are not my cup of tea. I like apples and I love oranges!  I’m not a fan of vegetables, but my parents and teachers say they’re very important. I think they’re right. 

I really hate broccoli, but carrots are ok. I detest cucumber salad, but I like mixed salad  I’m crazy for mushrooms, but I really don’t like onions.

School Subjects

I love playing with my friends in the playground. I don’t like History very much and I hate Maths lessons! Anyway, I like Gym and Art, but I prefer Science because I’m crazy for animals.

I really like Music and I love Portuguese lessons, but my favorite subject is English, of course!

         And you? What are your likes and dislikes?
