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

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

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
