- Hi! Both words basically mean “greedy.” You can think about the root words to help understand the difference. “Acquisitive” comes from the verb “acquire,” to obtain or buy something. “Avaricious” comes from the noun “avarice,” a strong desire to have a lot of money. An acquisitive company often buys other smaller companies. An avaricious company doesn’t want to pay employees on vacation.0 votedOctober 28, 20220
- Hi Mryoso, we use "in + a period of time" to say when something will happen. Ex: "The bus will be leaving in a few minutes." In your example, the exams will happen six weeks in the future. To talk about the duration (how long it is), you can say "the exams last three hours" or "the exams take three hours."0 votedOctober 21, 20221
- One day, thinking only about work, I remembered my skills on piano. I had enough knowledge to deliver the goods. I've had experience playing in churches and I wanted a secular experience learning something different. That's why I decided to enroll in a jazz course with an American jazzist who usually plays the saxophone and piano and is very famous here in Costa Rica. My first day I got to meet other musicians and I had ants in my pants because they could be more skilled than me. I knew I had to go the extra mile, because I didn't want to be left out of the group. Every lesson I could feel how I could play better until I received an invitation to study and get a certification as Project Manager. I didn't want accept to give up my piano practice to keep my project management lessons at the same time and I learned as the worst possible way to take it in. My mind was divided in two and I remember that I got a terrible flu (when Covid didn't exist) and even in that way I took the lessons and put on my best face. Even with tiredness I learned something new and I was very excited even when I wiped off the keys of the piano to clean up before playing. I knew if I wanted to play in the final concert, I had to go extra mile, since I had to study two different things. The day of concert was coming and one day before there was a concert in the place. I went as listener and my teacher was playing with expert musicians and some of my classmates were there. They chose a song I knew. My teacher called me to play the piano. I was very surprised and and my mates, in the end gave me good comments. The next day, knowing I could play the songs without charts I refused to look at my personal chords notes. When I played I don't know how but everything went wrong. I got nervous and forgot the songs and the sound of location was a mess. I could only imagine my teacher talking behind closed doors. It was terrible! Today I am still playing piano and I am Project Manager.0 votedJune 2, 20210
