—   Hello, boys and girls! My name is James.
This is Lee.

—   And my name is Martin.

—   Welcome to our lesson!

—   Today we would like to tell you one
interesting story.

—   Last Saturday we decided to go to the Zoo
near my house.

—   We wanted to look at the animals.

—   Martin, Lee and I also wanted to feed
them.

—   The three of us really like feeding
animals.

—   Yeah! That’s right! It helps us to uplift
our spirits.

—   Let’s continue our story.

—   When we came to the Zoo, we saw two
fellows.

—   They were talking about something.

—   Listen to their conversation.

—   This will help you to guess the topic of
our lesson today.

—   Bobby, look! This zebra is so beautiful
and cute.

—   Yeah, Ryan! But I think that all animals
in this Zoo are very sweet and lovely.

—   Yes, they are adorable. But last year my
parents and I went on a voyage to Turkey. There we visited the local Zoo and…

—   Wow, it’s so cool! Oh, I’m sorry I
interrupted you. Ryan, please, continue your story.

—   Thank you, Bobby! All right… There were
lots of different animals: elephants, lions, tigers, bears, pandas and so on.
But there were no zebras.

—   Oh, I see. How did you go there?

—   We went on our voyage by car. My dad is a
journey agent, so he arranged this voyage for us.

—   Oh, I’m so jealous. I want to go on a
voyage too!

—   Bobby, please, don’t be! Next time I will
ask my parents to take you with us.

—   Oh, thank you, Ryan! You’re the best!

—   The fellows made some mistakes in their
speech.

—   Let’s look through the dialogue once again
and correct them.

In this dialogue
we need to use the word “trip” instead of “voyage” and the word “travel”
instead of “journey”. And we will explain you why in a few minutes.

As you can
understand, today in the lesson we will:

·       
discuss what the
English nouns “trip”, “journey”, “travel” and “voyage” have in common;

And

·       
talk about the
difference between them.

—   To tell the truth, we weren’t really
surprised that the fellows used the words “voyage” and “journey” where we
cannot use them.

—   Yeah! There’s nothing weird about that,
because people often confuse the nouns “trip”, “journey”, “travel” and
“voyage”.

—   That’s why today Martin, James and I will
tell you about the difference between these words.

—   But first of all, let’s discuss what the
nouns “trip”, “journey”, “travel” and “voyage” have in common.

In the English
language when we want to talk about travelling, we can use the nouns “trip”,
“journey”, “travel” and “voyage”.

All these words
can be translated as “путешествие”.

But remember! They
are not the same. We need to use all of them in different situations.

So, let’s talk
about the difference between the words “trip”, “journey”, “travel” and
“voyage”.

The first word is
“trip”.

It can be
translated as “поездка, путешествие, экскурсия, рейс”.

“Trip” is a
countable noun and describes the whole process of going somewhere and coming
back.

For example:

Marry, let’s go on
a trip to the mountains this spring!

Or

During our holiday
we took a boat trip to the islands. 

The noun “trip”
usually refers to a journey which takes a short time or covers a short
distance.

For example:

Last year my wife
Kate and I went on a day trip to the jungle.

Or

Kyle and Larry,
let’s go on a short trip to Italy! 

The word “trip”
can also be used with an adjective to describe the type of trip.

For example:

Tyler and Fiona went on a honeymoon trip to Ireland.

Or

My dear friends, have a safe trip!

We can also use
the word “trip” to talk about the process of going somewhere during the
holidays.

For example:

Guys, we are going
on a camping trip in two hours, so, please, go to your rooms and pack your
things!

Or

Boys and girls,
raise your hands if you want to go on a holiday trip!

The noun “trip” is
used to talk about travelling somewhere because of work or study.

For example:

Harry and Molly
went on a business trip two weeks ago.

Or

Mrs. Donovan went
on a school trip with her pupils yesterday.

Pay attention! The
word “trip” cannot be used to talk about difficult and exhausting travelling.
In this case, you should use the words “expedition” or “voyage”.

Let’s compare the
following two sentences:

The first
sentence:

Felix and
Catherine went on an exhausting trip across the Atlantic Ocean.

And the second
sentence:

Felix and
Catherine went on an exhausting voyage across the Atlantic Ocean.

(It’s clear from
these sentences that we are talking about difficult and exhausting travelling.
That’s why we need to use the word “voyage”. It means that the 2^nd
sentence is correct and the 1^st is incorrect).

Remember! It’s
right to say: “to take a trip”, but “to make a journey”.

For example:

Robert decided
to take a fishing trip with his parents.

Or

Paul still uses
his car, but now he makes fewer journeys.

The following word
is “journey”.

The word “journey”
is translated as “путешествие, поездка, рейс, вояж”.

“Journey” is a countable noun. The meaning
of this word is “to move from one place to another, especially in a vehicle”.
It’s a single piece of travel.

Let’s look at the examples:

Alex was in Egypt in 2015 and he came back
there this year. So, he has had two journeys to Egypt.

Or

Oliver and Fred make a 300-mile journey by
bike.

We use the noun “journey” to describe
regular visits to some places such as school or work. Here we are talking about
short-distance travels.

For instance:

Regan, how long does your journey to work
take?

Or

Kids, did you have a good journey to
school?

When we talk about the word “journey”, we
need to be careful with its plural form. It’s correct to write “journeys” which
ends with “EYS” instead of “journies” which ends with “IES”.

Now let’s look at
the most popular expressions with the word “journey”.

1. A car/ plane/
bus journey

2. To make a
journey

3. To go on a
journey

4. To start a
journey

5. To set off on a
journey

For instance:

My best friends
Rick and Dan set off on a journey early in the morning.

Or

Christopher
started his journey on Monday.

The following word
is “travel”.

The word “travel”
can be both a verb and a noun.

If it’s a verb, it
means “to go from one place to another, especially over a long distance, in a
plane, train, car and so on”.

If this word is a
noun, it means “the activity of traveling, usually over
a long distance”.

“Travel” is
used to talk about the process of going somewhere in general.

For instance:

World travel gave
Wendy a new perspective.

(In this sentence
the word “travel” is a noun).

Or

Many people travel
to work by train.

(Here the word
“travel” is a verb).

“Travel” can also
be used as a part of compound nouns.

For instance:

Air
travel was affected by the storm.

Hillary has an
obsessive interest in space travel.

Or

Nick, why do you
think that time travel is possible?

And the last word
is “voyage”.

“Voyage” is
a countable noun. We use it to describe a long sea journey, but it’s also
sometimes used to describe journeys in space.

For example:

Long time ago a
voyage around the world often took five or six years.

Or

Marcus, when are
you going to make a voyage? 

Now let’s look at
the most popular expressions with the word “voyage”.

1. a voyage of
discovery

2. a maiden voyage

3. a voyage by
boat

4. a voyage into
space

5. to go on a
voyage

6. to make a
voyage

7. to set out on a
voyage

For instance:

Bradley, I don’t
want to go on a voyage alone!

Or

It was my maiden
voyage. I really liked it!

—   Now you know what the nouns “trip”,
“journey”, “travel” and “voyage” have in common.

—   We’ve also talked about the difference
between them.

—   That’s all for today.

—   We hope you liked the lesson.

—   See you soon.

When living in the UK, all you appear to see is rain and severe climate. Two days are not the same here, so we typically fly out to some hotter, exciting place to escape the everyday pound and the climate.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Travel is the movement of people between distant geographical locations. Travel can be done by foot, bicycle, automobile, train, boat, bus, airplane, ship or other means, with or without luggage, and can be one way or round trip.^[1] Travel can also include relatively short stays between successive movements, as in the case of tourism.

Etymology

The origin of the word «travel» is most likely lost to history. The term «travel» may originate from the Old French word travail, which means ‘work’.^[2] According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the first known use of the word travel was in the 14th century. It also states that the word comes from Middle English travailen, travelen (which means to torment, labor, strive, journey) and earlier from Old French travailler (which means to work strenuously, toil).

In English, people still occasionally use the words travail, which means struggle. According to Simon Winchester in his book The Best Travelers’ Tales (2004), the words travel and travail both share an even more ancient root: a Roman instrument of torture called the tripalium (in Latin it means «three stakes», as in to impale).^{[citation needed]} This link may reflect the extreme difficulty of travel in ancient times. Travel in modern times may or may not be much easier, depending upon the destination. Travel to Mount Everest, the Amazon rainforest, extreme tourism, and adventure travel are more difficult forms of travel. Travel can also be more difficult depending on the method of travel, such as by bus, cruise ship, or even by bullock cart.^[3]

Purpose and motivation

Reasons for traveling include recreation,^[4] holidays, rejuvenation,^[5] tourism^[4] or vacationing,^[4] research travel,^[4] the gathering of information, visiting people, volunteer travel for charity, migration to begin life somewhere else, religious pilgrimages^[4] and mission trips, business travel,^[4] trade,^[4] commuting, obtaining health care,^[4] waging or fleeing war, for the enjoyment of traveling, or other reasons. Travelers may use human-powered transport such as walking or bicycling; or vehicles, such as public transport, automobiles, trains, ferries, boats, cruise ships and airplanes.

Motives for travel include:

• Pleasure^[6]
• Relaxation
• Discovery and exploration^[4]
• Adventure
• Intercultural communications^[4]
• Taking personal time for building interpersonal relationships.
• Avoiding stress^[7]
• Forming memories^[7]

History

Travel dates back to antiquity where wealthy Greeks and Romans would travel for leisure to their summer homes and villas in cities such as Pompeii and Baiae.^[8] While early travel tended to be slower, more dangerous, and more dominated by trade and migration, cultural and technological advances over many years have tended to mean that travel has become easier and more accessible.^[9] Humankind has come a long way in transportation since Christopher Columbus sailed to the New World from Spain in 1492, an expedition which took over 10 weeks to arrive at the final destination; to the 21st century when aircraft allows travel from Spain to the United States overnight.

Travel in the Middle Ages offered hardships and challenges, though it was important to the economy and to society. The wholesale sector depended (for example) on merchants dealing with/through caravans or sea-voyagers, end-user retailing often demanded the services of many itinerant peddlers wandering from village to hamlet, gyrovagues (wandering monks) and wandering friars brought theology and pastoral support to neglected areas, traveling minstrels toured, and armies ranged far and wide in various crusades and in sundry other wars.^[8] Pilgrimages were common in both the European and Islamic world and involved streams of travelers both locally and internationally.^[10]

In the late 16th century, it became fashionable for young European aristocrats and wealthy upper-class men to travel to significant European cities as part of their education in the arts and literature. This was known as the Grand Tour, and included cities such as London, Paris, Venice, Florence, and Rome. However, the French Revolution brought with it the end of the Grand Tour.^[8]

Travel by water often provided more comfort and speed than land-travel, at least until the advent of a network of railways in the 19th century. Travel for the purpose of tourism is reported to have started around this time when people began to travel for fun as travel was no longer a hard and challenging task. This was capitalized on by people like Thomas Cook selling tourism packages where trains and hotels were booked together.^[11] Airships and airplanes took over much of the role of long-distance surface travel in the 20th century, notably after the Second World War where there was a surplus of both aircraft and pilots.^[8] Air travel has become so ubiquitous in the 21st century that one woman, Alexis Alford, visited all 196 countries before the age of 21.^[12]

Geographic types

Travel may be local, regional, national (domestic) or international. In some countries, non-local internal travel may require an internal passport, while international travel typically requires a passport and visa. Tours are a common type of travel. Examples of travel tours are expedition cruises,^[13] small group tours,^[14] and river cruises.^[15]

Safety

Authorities emphasize the importance of taking precautions to ensure travel safety.^[16] When traveling abroad, the odds favor a safe and incident-free trip, however, travelers can be subject to difficulties, crime and violence.^[17] Some safety considerations include being aware of one’s surroundings,^[16] avoiding being the target of a crime,^[16] leaving copies of one’s passport and itinerary information with trusted people,^[16] obtaining medical insurance valid in the country being visited^[16] and registering with one’s national embassy when arriving in a foreign country.^[16] Many countries do not recognize drivers’ licenses from other countries; however most countries accept international driving permits.^[18] Automobile insurance policies issued in one’s own country are often invalid in foreign countries, and it is often a requirement to obtain temporary auto insurance valid in the country being visited.^[18] It is also advisable to become oriented with the driving rules and regulations of destination countries.^[18] Wearing a seat belt is highly advisable for safety reasons; many countries have penalties for violating seatbelt laws.^[18]

There are three main statistics which may be used to compare the safety of various forms of travel (based on a Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions survey in October 2000):^[19]

Mode	Deaths per billion
Journeys	Hours	Kilometers
Bus	4.3	11.1	0.4
