I absolutely loathe... 
I really can't stand... 
In your answer, try to use a ―dislike‖ and a ―strong dislike‖ phrase. Use the same 
style of structure as the ―liking‖ answer but change the linking phrases. 
Example: 
 
―Is there anything you don't like about your hometown?‖ 
 
“Of course I think I'd have to say that I'm not so keen on the weather. To be 
more  precise,  I  really  can't  stand  the  summer  months.  This  is  due  to  the  fact  that  the 
temperatures can get as high as 40 degrees so it can be quite uncomfortable if you don't 
have  air  conditioning  in  your  house.  In  addition  to  this,  I'm  not  really  that  fond  of  the 
public transport system. And I guess this is probably because the buses are too old and the 
seats are really hard, so long journeys are usually pretty bumpy.” 
Now answer the following ―disliking‖ questions using a similar structure: 
Is there anything you don't like about your school/ studies? 
Is there any food you don't like? 
What's the worst thing about shopping? 
Are there any clothes that you don't like? 
What type of weather do you dislike?
