Even very advanced students (上級の生徒でも) often make mistakes with "think". In Japanese, you can say, "あまりよくないと思います”, but the English style is very different. It sounds unnatural (不自然） to say, "I think it's not very good." In English, we say, "I don't think it's very good."
Here are some sentences where it sounds more natural to say, "I don't think." If you need help with vocabulary, there are some hints below (以下）.
a) (私は)パーティに行けないと思います。
b) この答えは正しくないと思います。(1)
c) 明日雨が降らないと思います。
d) 彼は忙しくないと思います。
e) 難しくないと思います。 (2)
f) (それは)利益にならないと思います。 (3)
g) (私達は)だれも雇わなくてもいいと思います。(4)
h) 彼は選挙で勝たないと思います。(5)
Hints:
1. correct
2. difficult
3. be profitable
4. hire
5. win, election
