La justicia y la pena de muerte

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.


LANGUAGE 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

If there is one valuable lesson about humility and personal development that I learned from the book of Ryan Holiday, "it is the fact that for you to improve, you have to accept the fact that you are not as good as you think."  TRAIN like a NEWBIE in everything.
