Tongue Twisters/Скороговорки/Fjalëshpejta 

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

Day 25: Taking vacations

There are some key differences between negotiating in person versus doing so virtually. When meeting face-to-face, it is easier to build rapport and trust with the other party. Seeing someone's facial expressions and body language helps both sides understand the other's perspective. It is also simpler to have informal side conversations that can move the negotiation forward in a more fluid, organic way. However, in-person negotiations require more planning, travel time and costs associated with getting everyone together physically.

Virtual negotiations conducted via videoconference or phone eliminate the need for travel but make establishing rapport more challenging. Without in-person cues it is harder to read another party's reactions and know when to push further on an issue or concede a point. Technical difficulties can also potentially hamper the flow of virtual discussions. However, virtual formats have increased flexibility as negotiators can connect from anywhere at any time based on their schedules. Exchanging revised offers and documents is also simpler digitally.

While building trust is tougher online, maintaining detailed notes and finding ways to personalize virtual interactions such as using video can help overcome some of the impersonal aspects. With practice and the right strategies, negotiators can develop their virtual skills just as effectively as doing deals in a traditional face-to-face setting. Both in-person and virtual negotiations have pros and cons, so understanding these differences can optimize outcomes regardless of format.
