Taking a Vacation
JULIE: I just bought a ticket to New York
City. I’m so excited to see the city!
SOPHIE: Good for you! Traveling is so much
fun. I love discovering new places and new people. When are you leaving?
JULIE: Next week. I’m taking the red eye.
It was cheaper. Hopefully, I’ll be able to sleep on the plane.
SOPHIE: I wish I could go with you! New
York City is a magical place. You will have so much fun.
JULIE: I hope so. I’m going to visit my
brother who lives there. I will stay for a week and then take the train down to
Washington, D.C.
SOPHIE: That sounds like a great vacation.
I’m looking forward to a week at the beach for my summer vacation. I just want
to relax. |

Conversation Notes |
- Ticket can refer to many different types of
transportation (metro, bus, train, plane, etc.). In general, you can guess
the means of transportation by the context.
- When discussing airplane travel, a red eye is a flight
that leaves at night to arrive early the next morning. This is in reference
to how red your eyes become when you don’t get a full night’s sleep.
