aimer vs aimer beaucoup

Why does 'I love to dance' translate as J'aime beaucoup', whereas 'I love to shine' is simply 'J'aime'? How do we know when the speaker really likes something when its only implied? I have seen the unspoken 'beaucoup' in other exersizes as well.

In the song "Aux Champs-Élysées" the first line is "Je m'baladais sur l'avenue".

Is this a specific exception where you can use "sur" instead of "dans"?

A doubt. It seems that une boule de neige doesn't follow the pattern of un sac en/de cuir. Is that right?
