說到旅游，同學們的話還是滔滔不絕的，因為每個人心中都有一個想去的地方. 那么雅思口語中的以下高頻考題你是否會用英文描述呢？
Describe a car journey that you had
Describe an educational trip that you had
Describe a short trip that you had and that you want to do it again
以上三個題目同時旅游話題，但是側重點有所不同。首先journey一般指單程較遠距離的海、陸、空“旅行”；trip是指短距離旅行，直達目的地的旅行。然而，在日常用語中，trip可與journey通用。Car journey強調的是開車旅行，可以描述沿途的風景，也可以描述你坐車旅行時的心情。而educational trip著重強調你在旅途中有什么收獲，學習到你平時不知道的東西，可以是風土人情可以是民間故事等等。
今日口語話題
今天，咱們來看看描述“去國外旅行的”的實用素材。題目呢，是長這個樣子滴：
Describe a foreign country you want to travel to.
You should say:
What country it is
When and who you will travel to
What preparation you need to do
And explain why you want to travel to the country.
