  • Lucy just 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 meet so the three phrases are

  • to be keen on to be funded off and to be

  • a fun of to be keen on to be fun to all

  • 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 the

  • 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 for I am a

  • big fan of running these three sentences

  • all mean that I like running i am

  • interested in running ok 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

  • the same now spread its 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 fun of

  • cleaning so because it's a fan which is

  • a noun we have to use such a instead of

  • things that if you're going to do an

  • exam you must remember that is so in

  • such and also the prepositions so keen

  • on and off fun of and then so and such
