She's gone to 27 00:01:57,540 --> 00:02:00,980 buy some groceries but she'll be back in a few hours. 28 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,420 'Journey' is a noun, which means the physical act of moving from one place to another. 29 00:02:07,420 --> 00:02:10,580 This is a small part of travelling. 30 00:02:10,590 --> 00:02:16,349 For example, I could say I really enjoyed traveling around India last year, but I 31 00:02:16,349 --> 00:02:21,079 remember there was a very long journey from Mumbai to Delhi. 32 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:27,939 Within the context of bigger travel there was a smaller travel called a journey and it's the physical movement 33 00:02:28,139 --> 00:02:31,359 What is the longest journey that you've ever taken? 34 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,520 Was it longer than Mumbai to Delhi? Because that's pretty long! 35 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,060 Write a comment telling me about it just below this video. 36 00:02:39,060 --> 00:02:42,460 'Tour' can be used both as a noun and a verb 37 00:02:42,460 --> 00:02:46,439 and this is a visit to a place or an area where you actually want 38 00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:52,259 to learn something about it. So it's not just a holiday where you're sat on a beach but 39 00:02:52,259 --> 00:02:57,060 you're actually going somewhere and you're involved a bit more in that place. 40 00:02:57,060 --> 00:03:03,080 For example, I had a really good tour in Paris. I went to see the Eiffel Tower, 41 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,500 the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre Museum... 42 00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:15,139 I'm not too sure how to pronounce any of those things so I'm sorry if you're French! 43 00:03:15,479 --> 00:03:22,379 It can also be used as a verb, so for example, I really enjoyed touring around France last year. 44 00:03:22,379 --> 00:03:26,729 That means I went to a few different places and I got really 45 00:03:26,729 --> 00:03:31,000 involved in those places. I learned a lot about them. 46 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,539 Okay, so now we've looked at the differences between these four words 47 00:03:34,539 --> 00:03:37,340 and how to use them in example sentences, 48 00:03:37,340 --> 00:03:41,340 let's talk about some common collocations. 49 00:03:41,340 --> 00:03:48,939 First up, we've got 'travel'. You can travel light, which means to travel with just a small amount of luggage. 50 00:03:48,939 --> 00:03:52,289 You can also work as a travel agent 51 00:03:52,289 --> 00:03:57,139 a person who books flights, hotels and other things. 52 00:03:57,139 --> 00:04:02,839 You can also work as a tour guide okay, but be careful with these two because 53 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:09,050 you can't really be a tour agent and you can't be a travel guide. A travel guide 54 00:04:09,050 --> 00:04:13,460 would be a physical book that would provide information 55 00:04:13,460 --> 00:04:18,019 whereas a tour guide is the person that provides the information for tourists. 56 00:04:18,019 --> 00:04:22,639 You can go on a day trip which means just to go somewhere for the day and return back 57 00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:28,399 home in the evening. It's quite common in England for people to take a day trip to London. 58 00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:32,939 If you're taking a day trip you might want to buy a round-trip ticket 59 00:04:32,939 --> 00:04:39,779 which is a ticket that gets you from your origin to your destination and back to your origin. 60 00:04:39,779 --> 00:04:42,359 From A to B, back to A. 61 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,540 If you're going on a long journey make sure 62 00:04:44,540 --> 00:04:48,810 that you've checked some sort of journey planner so you know what you're doing, 63 00:04:49,009 --> 00:04:54,379 where to go, what bus stop to get off at and what trains to take. 64 00:04:54,379 --> 00:05:00,899 And make sure if you do need to change train or change bus, that you have planned your onward journey. 65 00:05:00,899 --> 00:05:06,939 Make sure you know what you are doing after the first bus or after the first train. 66 00:05:07,540 --> 00:05:10,759 Alright guys, that's all for today's video! 67 00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:17,819 As always, if it was helpful for you don't forget to like, subscribe, share, comment... 68 00:05:17,819 --> 00:05:25,439 Just do something to let me know that you're there and you're watching and I'm not just talking to myself.
