I started English conversation with Miss Dhebs. Every moring, I'm happy to hear from you. Now I'm not good at speaking but I'm sure to be good in the future. I'm planning to go abroad once a year.
What is difference between "travel" and "trip"? Are they the same meaning?
Bye-bye!
Travel
- by means of getting somewhere. You can travel by car, foot, bike plane, ship...
- Travel (uncountable n.) and travelling are used to mean the general activity of moving from place to place. You do NOT say "a travel". When we use it as a verb, we talk about how we travel to work; abroad; school, etc. And we might mention the means of transport, e.g. "I travel to school by bus", "They travelled on foot". As a noun, travel or travelling is often collocated with holidays. We say: ‘I love travelling’ or ‘She had fond memories of his travels to Japan’, in those cases it is not interchangeable with journey.
Trip
- is something with a basic itinerary. You plan a trip. A business trip. A weekend get away trip. But you know when you are leaving, when you are getting back, and more or less what you are doing.
- Trip, n. is often said when going out somewhere; it could be taking a short holiday, or travelling some distance for business purposes, and staying at a hotel overnight; very often it is a short journey abroad. We often say: a business trip; a weekend trip; a day trip, and a school trip. But you can also ‘take a long (plane/road/boat) trip’ to somewhere.
