Hello, everyone!
How are you I'm doing well. Life in China is great! I arrived two months ago. I was quite nervous then. But everyone here is so friendly and nice. Now I feel quite comfortable and relaxed. My students are wonderful and the other teachers are always helpful.
My school is very big. I have many students in my class. In Canada, there are usually only 35 students in a class. And they move from classroom to classroom for their classes. But in China, the teachers move!

2. 【辨析】quite与very
二者都是副词，都含有“很，非常”之意。区别如下：
quite的程度小于very；quite可直接修饰动词，而very则不能。
※I quite enjoy living here. 我挺喜欢住在这里。
quite可以修饰没有等级之分的形容词，如perfect(完美的)、impossible(不可能的)、right(正确的)、sure(确信的)、ready(准备好的)等等，而这些词不可以用very来修饰。quite在修饰此类形容词时，意为“完全，绝对”。
※It’s quite impossible to finish the work in such a short time.
在这么短的时间内完成这项工作是绝不可能的。
2. 【辨析】quite与very
quite用于修饰名词时，常用“quite＋限定词(＋adj.)＋名词”结构，当名词前有形容词时，相当于“限定词＋very＋adj.＋名词”。
※Miss Wang is quite a good teacher.＝Miss Wang is a very good teacher.
王老师是一个非常不错的老师。
quite可修饰介词短语，very则不能。但是very可以直接修饰名词，意为“正是，就是”，表强调。
※He is now quite out of money.他现在完全没有钱了。
This is the very book that I am looking for.这正是我寻找的那本书。
3. nervous adj. 紧张的，不安的
※To tell the truth, I am now feeling very nervous.
说实话，我现在感到非常紧张。
【常用短语】
be / feel nervous about sth.对某事物感到不安
4. comfortable adj. 舒适的，舒服的
它是由comfort加上形容词后缀 able构成的。
※Our life now is very comfortable.我们现在的生活非常舒适。
【拓展】
反义词：uncomfortable不舒服的
5. 【辨析】relaxed与relaxing
relaxed是形容词，意为“感到放松的”。常用来修饰人，表示人的感受，在句中常作表语。
※The relaxing movie makes us feel relaxed.
这部令人放松的电影让我们感到很放松。
relaxing是形容词，意为“令人放松的”。它既可作表语也可作定语，常用来修饰物。
6. helpful adj. 有帮助的，有用的
helpful是由动词help加上形容词后缀 ful构成的，既可作表语也可作定语。
※I hope my reply will be helpful to you.
我希望我的回复对你有帮助。
【常用短语】
be helpful to对……有帮助
【拓展】反义词：helpless没用的
7. hard adv. 努力地；辛苦地；（雨）猛烈地
hard作副词，用来修饰动词时，位于动词之后。
※Study hard, and you will succeed in the end. 努力学习，你最终会成功。
【拓展】
hard还可以作形容词，意为“困难的，费力的；坚硬的，坚固的”。
当其表示“困难的，费力的”时，其同义词为difficult，反义词为easy(容易的)；当其表示“坚硬的”时，反义词为soft(柔软的)。
※It is hard/difficult to work out this math problem.算出这道数学题很难。
