Pretty much the same as yesterday's types of sentences with the ' no ga ' formula.

1. Erika is very good at making friends

2. Kiyoshi loves reading books

3. Makoto hates cleaning the room

4. Yoshie is not good at driving a car

5. Yuki doesn't like doing laundry very much

My answers: ( got a bit confused whether I should use 'wo' in some sentences or not so please let me know! )

1. Erika San wa tomodachi tsukuru no ga jyouzu desu.

2. Kiyoshi San wa hon yomu no ga daisuki desu

3. Makoto San wa heya souji no ga dai kirai desu

4. Yoshie san wa kuruma unten no ga heta desu

5. Yuki San wa amari sentaku suru suki ja nai desu.

Thank you.

Sorry if I've made any mistakes based upon yesterday's marking but I found that my book seemed to contradict a few of the feedback messages I got.

E.G: using 'ja nai' instead of 'ja arimasen'

You need を (wo) in all but one of those.

する (suru) class verbs are nouns without する (suru) and wouldn't need の (no) to nominalize them. However, here you're saying something about the act of ___, so you need する (suru).

Also, you don't put です (desu) after じゃない (ja nai).
 
That's odd. My book gives me an example and uses desu after ja nai...

So are these sentences correct?:

3. Makoto-san San ha heya wo souji suru no ga dai kirai desu.
まことさんは部屋をそうじするのがだいきらいです。

4. Yoshie-san ha kuruma wo unten suru no ga heta desu.
よしいさんは車をうんてんするのがへたです。

5. Yuki-san ha sentaku suru no ga amari suki ja arimasen.
ゆきさんはせんたくするのがあまりすきじゃありません。

Btw, I think you should switch to another textbook, because this one doesn't seem to be teaching correctly.
 
Yes, all correct (except a typo よしさん).

"De wa/Ja arimasen" is more proper, but "ja nai desu" is not incorrect and actually used. (Some textbooks indeed say that "ja nai desu" is incorrect, though.)

The reason the textbook specifies to use "ja nai" would be that it's easy to make polite form (just adding "desu" at the end of the sentence).
 
Oops, sorry. I had just never seen じゃないです before and it seemed strange mixing politeness levels. Thankfully Toritoribe was here to correct me 😌
