× I do not know this.
✓ I do not know.
The pronoun 'this' is unnecessary and incorrect in this context. The student should simply say 'I do not know' to express lack of knowledge about the question.
× Uh, I do not know the difference between and. I'm not like.
✓ Uh, I do not know the difference between them. I don't like swimming in either.
The original sentence is incomplete and unclear. 'Between and' lacks the objects of comparison. Also, 'I'm not like' is incorrect; it should be 'I don't like' to express preference. The corrected sentence completes the comparison and clarifies the student's opinion.
