    Jose's answer above is very helpful, but I'll add my two cents. A trip and journey are nouns, travel is a verb. A trip can be short or long. You can take a trip to Paris or a trip to the grocery store. So it's used in many contexts. A journey is generally long, and the word describes the process of travelling itself. If I talk about my trip to Paris, I'm going to talk about Paris itself, not really the trip there. If I talk about my Journey across the ocean, I'm going to tell you about the ship and the waves and the weather, not my destination. I can travel to Paris, and when I get back tell you about my trip. I can take a journey through Alaska and tell you about lots and lots of snow. I hope that's helpful.

    Mi primero "Notebook Entry" Pues, como se llama "Notebook Entry"? Necesito practicar mas mi Espanol. Por eso estoy escribiendo aqui. Supongo que debo escribir algo interesante. Pues, estoy en Chicago y en seguida voy a tener almuerzo. Trabajo en el centro, y por eso cueste mas o menos diez dolares para almuerzo. Algunas veces mas. Ok, eso no es tan interesante, pero ojala que sea correcto.

    Actually, I'd advise avoiding both by using "need." Example: I'm in need of a good coat. (slightly old fashioned sounding) I have a need for a good coat. (slightly awkward and wordy) I need a good coat. (nice and simple) I hope that helps.

    “the bad news induced her unable to study” is wrong. It would be possible to say, “the bad news induced her to be unable to study”, but it's a very awkward way of saying it. More likely would be “the bad news caused her to be unable to study”, or more simply, "the bad news made her unable to study."

    Both are correct. The first is informal and technically improper grammar, but it's common usage because it avoids a sexist construction. The second ("he") is technically (traditionally) correct but becoming less common because it is sexist. I hope that helps.

    Another option: A couple of days ago while I was watching TV I saw something that shocked me. I don't think you really need the commas.

    To take it one step further, the idea is if you could get your head around it, it would be inside your mind. You would understand it. But you just can't get your head around it. You can't understand it.
