peer agreement (net): +6| change the pace. Get a move on! Explanation: If the text of the advertisement is about making changes, then this expression would also be valid in American English, but it depends on the context. Change OF pace is either faster, slower, or differently from the usual. If I work in an office, a change of pace is strenuous hiking in the mountains. If I work in a factory, a change of pace might be a night at the opera. If I take care of pre-schoolers, a change of pace might be talking to any adult without interruption! |
