hello everyone and welcome back to
english with Lucy the other day on my
Instagram I asked what sort of video would
you like to see next
I asked on this photo here and by far
the most popular comment was tell us
about your trip to Barcelona
unfortunately I didn't film much or
take so many photos so I can't do that
the second most popular was phrasal
verbs and the third most popular was
travel vocabulary so thought I
would take travel and phrasal verbs, fuse
them together and talk to you about
travel-related phrasal verbs. So let's
get started. Now obviously you know the
ones like ”°take off”± and ”°get away”± and
things like that. Today I want to talk to
you about some more advanced
travel-related phrasal verbs.
So the first one is ”°to set off”±. To set
Off, to set off means to start or begin a
trip or a journey, so I could say: When I
went to Barcelona I set off at six
o'clock in the morning and I arrived at
the airport at eight o'clock, so I began
the whole journey at six o'clock in the
Morning.
Now the next one is ”°to hold up”± and this
means to delay something, so I could say:
There was a traffic jam which held us up
for half an hour. The next one is ”°to see
somebody off”± or just ”°to see off”± and this
means to go to a station or airport or
specific place to say goodbye to
somebody that is traveling somewhere. So
I could say: My Dad came into departures
to see me off. My dad came into
departures to say goodbye to me before I
Traveled. The next one is ”°to check in”± and
this means to arrive and register at a
hotel or an airport, so at the airport I
had to check in my luggage at the desk
and that the hotel. I also had to check
in and receive my keys,
remember at the end of the trip. I would
also
check out. The final one is ”°to stop over”±,
and this means to stop somewhere on the
way to your final destination. So if you
were going on a long journey to
Indonesia, for example, maybe you would
stop over in another country, in another
Airport, on the way and then make a
connecting flight to break up the
Journey. So my final destination is
Indonesia, but I might stop over in Italy.
Ok, guys. Those were your five
travel-related phrasal verbs. I hope you
enjoyed the video. I hope you learned
Something. [ĮćŅ¼Ó¢ÓļÖĘ×÷]
