verbs series and today's topic is travel. If you haven't already be sure to subscribe and be sure

like I said before, the topic of today's video is travel. We have some very useful
phrasal verbs for you that you can use when you talk about travel. When you want to travel,
you'll know what certain things are called. They're just very useful phrases for you to know.
Alright, so the first phrasal verb that we have for you today is set off, or set
out. Okay, these two phrasal verbs they actually mean the same thing. And the definition is
to start a journey or an adventure. So, you can use this whenever you start traveling.
You set off or you set out. So for example, I set off on Wednesday and will arrive on Friday.
Our next phrasal verb is: look around.
Alright, look around means to visit a place and look at the things in it.
Okay, so you can use this word for many different places. You can use it for a big place like a
city. I'm going to look around the city means that you're going to just explore. Look at,
look at all the different things in the city. But you can also use this word for small places
like a school or a room even. You can look around the room.
So let's use it in a sentence, for example: I had a few days to look around the city.
Alright, our next word is to look something up, or it's called look up.
Now, lookup actually has a few different meanings. It can mean
different things, but in this in this way-this context, look something up means
to try to find a piece of information by looking in a book or on a computer. You can even
use a smartphone to look something up. Okay, so let's look at the example:
I was lost, so I looked up the directions.
So, you can see here that this is very useful for you when you are traveling because you need
to look up many things. You need to find a lot of information when you are traveling.
Alright, our next word is get away. Get away means to go somewhere to have a holiday or vacation.
If you are American often because you need to rest. You will use this phrase if you feel tired
or stressed. Okay, you can say that: I need to get away. It means you need to go somewhere to have
rest. To have a vacation. Okay so for example: I feel that I need to get away for a few weeks.
Maybe this is because you feel stressed from work or you just
really haven't traveled in a long time and you just want to relax. Then you can get away.
Alright, and our final word is to take off something. Now take off again, take off can
mean many different things, but this is about time. Usually, the definition is to use a period
of time for a purpose that is different from what you usually do. Okay usually if you are working
then if you take off a few days, then you're doing something different besides working. For example,
I decided to take off next weekend for a vacation. So, usually this person works during the weekend,
but they decided to take off next weekend for a vacation. So, they will not work. Alright everyone
