THEME THURSDAY: EXPRESSIONS FOR INTEREST (TO BE AN AVID ______): meaning and examples
Welcome back, readers! I hope that you are having a wonderful week and enjoying the beautiful fall season.
This month's Theme Thursday is all about EXPRESSING INTEREST. We know that students are bored saying "I like this" and "I like that," and there are many other (great) expressions to use! We have looked at a few; here are the links.
TO BE A FAN (OF SOMETHING): https://www.ziggurat.es/es/lecciones_ingles/index.asp?id=2715
TO BE KEEN ON: https://www.ziggurat.es/es/lecciones_ingles/index.asp?id=2657
TO BE FOND OF: https://www.ziggurat.es/es/lecciones_ingles/index.asp?id=2662
Today we are looking at the expression AN AVID _____.
Definition: someone who really enjoys an activity.
Example 1: She is an avid reader. You should see her library.
Example 2: My Dad is an avid fisherman. He goes every weekend.
Example 3: When I was a child, I was an avid video game player.
Notice that we use a noun after AVID because it is an adjective.
Do you consider yourself an avid participant in an activity? What activity do you enjoy? Let us know on our Facebook page. We would love to hear what you are an avid fan of!
