What's the actual meaning of "Have it all together"? Please provide examples
Hi,
Does the expression "have it all together" mean the same as "get it all together"?
I came across "I hope to have it all together" but I was struggling to find its actual meaning.
All I could find about the expression is a definition that says "mentally and physically organized" but can you tell me when and how it is used?
Thanks in advance.

Nuances and usage for "Flick/Leaf/Skim/Thumb through"?
Hi,
I know they all mean to read something quickly (and not carefully I think) but what would be more commonly used?
Ex: I flicked/leafed/skimmed/thumbed through that magazine yesterday.
If there are other verbs you can think of, don't hesitate to tell me.

Difference between "ski track/trail/run/slope"
Hi,
I was just wondering how to translate "piste de ski" (French) into English when I realized there were many possibilities: Ski track, ski trail, ski run, ski slope
Could you tell me what makes these terms different and what would be more commonly used?
For example if you're going to a ski resort during your holidays / or / if you're a professional skier and it's your sport, what would you say they're skiing on?
Thank you.

Swap and/or switch?
Hi,
Are there any differences between "switch" and "swap"?
Is it like the difference between change and exchange?
For example, if you say "l'd like to switch/swap seats with you", does it mean the same, i.e; I take your seat and you take mine?
