lesson 16 – travel last week i had the worst business trip i’ve ever taken. normally a travel agency takes care of booking my flight (buying a plane ticket) and making my hotel reservation, but this time i decided make the travel arrangements myself. big mistake! first of all, the plane was overbooked (there were more passengers than seats available) so i was bumped to a later flight. when they gave me my new boarding pass (the ticket that allows you to enter the airplane), they didn’t ask me if i’d prefer a window seat or an aisle seat (a seat next to the corridor) – and i was stuck in the middle. to top it off, it was a very bumpy flight (a flight with a lot of turbulence). i then missed my connecting flight and had a ten-hour layover (i had to wait ten hours for my next …

s dug tunnels for their roads using the counter-excavation method, whenever they encountered obstacles such as hills or mountains that were too high for roads to pass over. an example is the 37-meter-long, 6-meter-high, furlo pass tunnel built in italy in 69-79 ce. remarkably, a modern road still uses this tunnel today. tunnels were also built for mineral extraction. miners would locate a mineral vein and then pursue it with shafts and tunnels underground. traces of such tunnels used to mine gold can still be found at the dolaucothi mines in wales. when the sole purpose of a tunnel was mineral extraction, construction required less planning, as the tunnel route was determined by the mineral vein. roman tunnel projects were carefully planned and carried out. the length of time it took to construct a tunnel depended on the method being used and the type of rock being excavated. the qanat …
