こんにちは、ちか先生です。
Konnichiwa, it's Chika Sensei.

Today I am going to share the homework correction quoted from my JLPT N4 course!
The student's sentence is not correct. Can you find the mistake?

[Student's sentence]

野菜はすこし好きじゃありません。

*やさいはすこしすきじゃありません。

[My correction]

野菜はすこし好きじゃありません。
→野菜はあまり好きじゃありません。
I don't like vegetables very much.

あまり is typically used with negative sentences. If you want to say "I don't like...", you should use あまり.

Meanwhile, すこし is often used with affirmative sentences, so using すこし in a negative sentence may not be appropriate in this sentence.

e.g.
私(わたし)はあまり日本語(にほんご)が話(はな)せません。
I can't speak Japanese very well.

私はすこし日本語が話せます。
I can speak a little Japanese.

今日(きょう)はあまり忙(いそが)しくないです。
I'm not very busy today.

今日はすこし忙しいです。
I'm a little bit busy today.

I hope my explanation helps you. 😊
