Чтобы правильно вставить слова "a few" или "a little" в предложениях, нужно понимать, когда использовать каждое из этих выражений. "A few" используется с исчисляемыми существительными, которые можно посчитать, а "a little" - с неисчисляемыми существительными, которые нельзя посчитать.
Давайте разберем каждое предложение по очереди:
- Julia ate... rice, she wasn't very hungry.
В этом предложении "rice" - неисчисляемое существительное. Поэтому мы используем "a little": Julia ate a little rice, she wasn't very hungry.
- Mike ate... chips, he wasn't very hungry.
Здесь "chips" - исчисляемое существительное, и мы можем его посчитать. Поэтому используем "a few": Mike ate a few chips, he wasn't very hungry.
- I have... cousins that speak French, the rest of them only speak English.
"Cousins" - исчисляемое существительное. Следовательно, мы используем "a few": I have a few cousins that speak French, the rest of them only speak English.

"Cookies" - исчисляемое существительное, поэтому здесь подходит "a few": She found a few cookies under her bed.

"Money" - неисчисляемое существительное, поэтому используем "a little": I want to save a little money to buy a present for my mother.

"Coins" - исчисляемое существительное, используем "a few": Robert gave me a few coins to buy a sweater, it is not enough!
