1. talk on the phone - I love to talk on the phone for hours.
2. go to big parties
3. eat a lot of junk food
4. learn about computers
5. go to places where I have to use my English
6. meet people from different culture
7. talk about my private life with my friends

Here are my sugggestions :
2. go to big parties : I enjoy going to..
4. learn about computers : learning about computers is very interesting
5. go to places where I have to use my English : Going to places where i have to use my english helps me improve mine
6. meet people from different culture : i'd like to meet people from....
7. talk about my private life with my friends : i avoid talking about my private ......
8. date someone who likes to dress differently : how do you feel about dating someone who likes....?

The gerund is used:
1.after a preposition(before,after,without,by,about,at,to,of)
eg:after LEAVING school,I went ti university
2.after certain verbs(admit,avoid,deny,enjoy,finish...)
eg:I avoid WORKING at the weekend
3.as the subject or object of a sentence
eg:SWIMMING is my favourite sport
4.after certain verbs which are followed by the preposition TO
eg:i m looking forward TO HEARING from you

Hi everybody !

Your exemples are so good ! And claire, I see no problem in your first ones, so don't worry anymore !
Kameleon, only a very very little mistake in your sentence n°1.
You should say : I AM fond of talking ..... ( To be fond of something or doing something ).

Speedjo, you now have your sentences and morenita's explanations !
