When you a walk into a building, you’re usually moving your own feet to go somewhere. If it’s work or school, you might not be totally happy to be there. But if you’re going into the mall or the cinema, chances are, you’re excited about it!

When someone is into something, he or she likes it a lot. For example, people who race in marathons are into running. And people with huge book collections are likely into reading. If you are into something, you think it’s awesome.
