hi guys welcome back to english with
lucy just in a little tiny baby video
for you today I want to talk to you
about three little tiny phrases that all
mean roughly the same thing that you
really should know if you’re thinking
about taking a Cambridge exam anytime
soon because I’ve seen them come up time
and time again normally my students are
pretty clueless or have no idea about
what they mean so the three phrases are
to be keen on to be fond of and to be a
fan of to be keen on to be fond of and
to be a fan of okay now all of these
phrases mean to like or to be very
interested in something so let’s use
some examples
I am very keen on running you will know
that if you’ve seen my Instagram I am
very fond of running and also I am a fan
of running or I am a big fan of running
these three sentences all mean that I
like running I am interested in running
okay so that was the affirmative now
let’s use it in the negative I’m not
keen on cleaning I’m not fond of
cleaning and I’m not a fan of cleaning
all the same now as Brits like to
complicate things a little further we
like to put a so in there as well so I’m
not so keen on cleaning I’m not so fond
of cleaning and I’m not such a fan of
cleaning so because it’s a fan which is
a noun we have to use such up instead of
so so maybe you do those phrases and
maybe you didn’t now there are two
things that if you’re going to do an
exam you must remember that is so and
such and also the prepositions
so it’s keen on fond of fan off and then
so and such so keen on so fond of and
such a fan
all right well make sure you try and use
those in your writings especially in the
b1 if you can use that in the b1
Cambridge will be really really
impressed let me know if it helped you
and make sure you connect with me on all
of my social media which is right here
and I will see you for another English
lesson very very soon what I’m suppose
to do tonight tonight I’m not keen on
racing anniversaries drunk I’m not keen
on I’m not think I don’t you know why
don’t you cleaning okay so one second
