keen on == interested in; eager to

Ex:
I'm not very keen on jazz
She is particularly keen on playing the piano.
Tom is not very keen on Stella.

As a matter of fact, I've changed the title for you to give it more meaning. It might seem unimportant to you because you post only a few questions per month. It is very important to the community as a whole since we receive hundreds of questions every day. If every question is titled 'phrasal verb' it will be almost impossible to navigate through them.

I do agree! The thing is, our members, especially newbies, usually don't pay much attention on this!

I'm thinking how they can do it like a habit so that you won't have to waste any effort to remind them and you will have more time to answer others' questions.
