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 dislike...
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	VERB+ING
I detest
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."
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.)
