  Now, this one, just to warn you, is usually only used by british native speaker, is not used by Americans.

  So to get about and get about means to travel around or go from a to b, particularly when you're on holiday.

• 01:11

  So, for example, if you're in London, the best way to get about in London is to get an oyster card.

• 01:17

  And this oyster card allows you to travel on the underground, the buses.

  So you can get about quite easily.

  And we can also say to somebody generally, oh, you get about a lot, don't you?

  So you come and you tell your friends, oh, I've just come back from London and next week I'm going to Paris and in two weeks time I'm off to America.
