Hello everyone at English4All! 👋
Welcome to our conversational club every Friday at 8 AM and 7 PM 🕗🕖 — a space where students from different groups come together to practice real English in a natural way.
Today’s question is: “What are you fond of?”
📘 Meaning of the question
“What are you fond of?” means:
👉 What do you really like?
👉 What do you enjoy doing?
“Fond of” is a more natural and slightly more expressive way to say “like” ❤️
🧠 Simple explanation
- I like pizza → normal
- I am fond of pizza → stronger / more personal
It shows a real interest or enjoyment.
💡 Examples
- I’m fond of listening to music 🎧
- I’m fond of traveling ✈️
- I’m fond of learning new things 📚
- I’m fond of spending time with my family 👨👩👧

💬 Follow-up questions (for better conversation)
Use these to keep the conversation going:
- Why are you fond of it? 🤔
- How often do you do it? ⏱️
- When did you start? 📅
- Who do you usually do it with? 👥
🧩 Example conversation
A: What are you fond of?
B: I’m fond of watching movies 🎬

⚠️ Think about this (don’t answer fast)
Most students say basic things like “music” or “movies”…
👉 But can you explain why clearly?
👉 Can you add details without stopping?
That’s where real English starts.
