adjust/adapt to university life?

[Annaa]

Hi,
I am just doing some exercise and can't cope with differences in meaning of some similar to me words.

adjust/adapt to university life
adjust/alter a piece of clothing
convert/transform farm into hotel
change your ways/change your tune

Thank you in advance
Anna

Hi Anna

Here are some ideas:

adjust/adapt to university life --> mean basically the same thing

adjust a hat = change the way it is positioned on your head (involves movement)
alter a skirt = change the length, or the size of the waist, etc. (a more permanent change involving needle and thread.)

convert a farmhouse to a bed and breakfast
transform the farm into a country estate

change your ways = change the way you behave
change your tune = change your opinion (how you think) about something
