3.  I found Maths quite easy and enjoyable because the material was less advanced in the UK than in China.

句中found Maths quite easy and enjoyable属于“find＋宾语＋宾补”结构。Maths是found的宾语，形容词短语quite easy and enjoyable作宾补。

(1)find＋宾语＋过去分词（表被动或完成） (现在分词（表主动或正在进行）)

(2)find it＋形容词/名词＋to do(it是形式宾语，to do是真正的宾语)

4.  Although there was not as much homework as I was used to, it was still challenging.
