Ocean tides are caused mainly by the gravitational pull of the Moon. As the Earth rota, the water nearest the Moon is drawn into a slight bul, and a second bulge forms on the oppo side. Coast therefore experience two high tid and two low tides roughly every twenty-four hours. The Sun also contri, and when it lines up with the Moon, the highest tides, called spr tides, occur. In some narrow bays, the sha of the coa magnifies the effect, producing tidal ranges of more than fift metres.

Read an Academic Passage

Read the passage and answer the questions.

For roughly a thousand years, Venice functioned not as a typical medieval monarchy but as a merchant-controlled republic whose entire political and military structure was organised around protecting and expanding maritime trade across the Mediterranean and into the Black Sea. Lacking significant agricultural land of its own, the city built its wealth almost entirely on commerce, particularly the lucrative trade in spices, silk, and other goods arriving from Asia via intermediary routes, which Venetian merchants then distributed throughout Western Europe at considerable markup. The Venetian state itself actively managed this commercial empire rather than leaving it purely to private enterprise: the government owned and operated the Arsenal, a massive state shipyard capable of mass-producing standardised war galleys with a speed and organisational efficiency that astonished contemporary visitors, allowing Venice to project naval power far beyond what its modest population would otherwise support. Political power was deliberately structured to prevent any single family from dominating the state permanently, with a complex system of councils, rotating offices, and an elected doge whose authority was carefully checked by other institutions, a structure historians credit with providing unusual long-term political stability compared to many rival city-states prone to internal strife. Venice's dominance gradually declined from the sixteenth century onward as Portuguese and later other European powers established direct sea routes to Asia around Africa, bypassing the overland and Mediterranean intermediary trade on which Venetian wealth had long depended.

It will take place on Friday, 28 June, at five o'clock in the staff canteen. There are a few ways you can help.

If anyone has photos from previous events, please email them to me so that I can put together a slideshow. Most importantly, please don't mention the party to Helen! She thinks we are just having a normal team meeting, so let's keep it a surprise. Thank you all! Best, Carlos

Write for an Academic Discussion

Read the discussion and write a post that contributes to it.

Dr. Lindqvist: In public health and urban planning, noise pollution from traffic, construction and nightlife is linked to stress and sleep disruption. Should cities enforce much stricter noise regulations, even if it limits businesses and construction schedules? Naledi: Stricter regulation is overdue. Chronic noise exposure is linked to heart disease and poor sleep, and residents' health should outweigh a business's convenience in scheduling deliveries or construction at any hour. Pieter: I think current rules are usually enough if enforced properly. The bigger problem is a lack of enforcement, not a lack of rules, and stricter laws without better enforcement would change nothing. Write a post that contributes to the discussion (at least 100 words).
Show sample answer
Model answer: I think Pieter raises an important practical point that often gets overlooked in these debates: many cities already have reasonable noise limits on paper, and the real failure is inconsistent enforcement, so simply writing stricter numbers into law without fixing that wouldn't achieve much on its own. However, I still lean towards supporting some tightening of the rules alongside better enforcement, because Naledi's health evidence is compelling, and certain activities, like late-night construction near residential buildings, arguably shouldn't be allowed at all regardless of enforcement quality. My preference would be modestly stricter rules for the most disruptive activities, combined with the reliable enforcement Pieter is right to demand, since neither stricter laws nor better enforcement alone fully solves the problem.
