答案

先看一下a little 的用法

a little在肯定句中修饰动词、形容词、副词和比较级时,表示"一点儿"的意思.例如:
That's a little too expensive. 那有点太贵了.具体在这句话中I can do it (a little).表示,我可以跳一点,我会跳一点舞.

a little在否定句中的意思,not a little相当于"very(much)"或"extremely"(很、非常).例如:
She is not a lia little 只修饰不可数名词；ttle tired.  她很累
a little bit of 或是a bit of 都表示很少

再看一下very much的用法：very much是 much 的强调说法,从理论上说,可用 much 的地方,原则上也可 very much.

much 的用法much主要修饰动词,而且除非其前有very, too, so 等修饰语,它只用于否定句和疑问句：She doesn't like him much. 她不太喜欢他.Does she much like him? / Does she like him much? 她很喜欢他吗?She likes him very much. 他很喜欢他.

注意：(1)不带修饰语的much有时也可能在肯定句修饰动词,但这只限于 regret, admire, prefer, appreciate 等少数动词,且此时的 much 应置于句中,而不是句末：We much appreciate your invitation. 我们非常感激你的邀请.

2) much 除修饰动词外,还可修饰比较级和最高级以及介词短语等：He is much better today. 他今天好多了.This is much the most difficult. 这是最最困难的.Much to my surprise, he was a thief. 使我大Much to my surprise, he was a为吃惊的是,他是个贼.

在这里very  much 修饰的动词是表达主观感受的,比如thank、 like、hate等,而是一般的行为动词,所以应该选择very well ,而不是very much

不清楚的请继续发问!
