Unit 1 - Your Preferences
Negatives - New Target Language!
Ex. 1 - Add one of the following to the phrases below to make it negative:
- Don’t
- Not
1. I’m interested in
2. I’m into
3. I like
4. I’m a fan of …
Obviously “I don’t mind” and “I can’t stand” are already negative. They have no positive
form. Add the negative versions to your organiser where it says Negative.
Ex. 2 - Look at the symbol (+) or (-) next to each sentence and answer using the new
vocabulary.
For example:
● Watching movies at the cinema (+)
→ I’m into watching movies at the cinema.
● Reading about politics (-)
→ I’m not interested in reading about politics.
Remember to use the appropriate phrases for each subject. Use your organiser to help
you:
Listening to audio books (-)
Swimming (+)
Learning about ancient history (+)
Studying grammar (-)
Going to the gym (-)
Comedy movies (+)
Cooking at home (-)
Cold weather (+)
