Pupils in Warwickshire will soon be learning Mandarin after new links were forged(建立联系)with a region in China．
Head teachers from the county spent a week in Shenzhen in South-east China, making links with schools and touring different education establishments．
Schools that took part are now looking to introduce Mandarin lessons．Pupils from schools in Warwickshire and Shenzhen are starting to write and e-mail each other and plans are being made to share lessons over the Internet．
The trip was arranged by Warwickshire County Council and funded by the British Council as the first stage of development of a range of ties with the economically booming city．
International development officer Judith Young said：“We are entering an exciting period of school relation between Warwickshire and Shenzhen．There is a real appetite for sharing ideas among the Chinese．We were able to see the differences and similarities between the education systems and there are many areas in which our schools, teachers and pupils will be able to benefit from a different cultural perspective(观点)and links with a country that is becoming very important on the world stage．Throughout the high profile(引人注目)visit led by our county education officer, Eric Wood, our group was made to feel very welcome and attracted a great deal of interest．Our visit to a primary school was featured as the main news item on television that night．A mark of how highly the visit was valued is that plans are being made for a return visit to Warwickshire of civic leaders, senior education officials and school principals．”

How does Judith Young feel about the future co-operation?
Dog training is a business for some people, a serious hobby for others, and a once in a life time experience for many．Individuals in all of these categories would probably agree that consistency(一致性)is a key element of success from the beginning．
If puppies are to be socialized, they must learn to control the impulse to use the carpet as a bathroom, chew shoes, and nip at fingers．The first issue, bathroom training is more easily accomplished in warm weather．Try to feed your pup outdoors, and after he has finished eating, take him to a spot where you would like him to eliminate．If he cooperates, praise him generously with words and pats．Take him to the same spot after each meal, and eventually he will follow this routine himself．
The sight of a small puppy chewing through a new tennis shoe will make you do well to remove the stolen shoe from the pup's mouth and firmly say “no!”．Provide your pup with some acceptable toys, such as a ball or a chew toy．
Until your pup is well trained and trustworthy, don't leave him unattended unless he is limited to a small area．When he is young, you want to be sure someone will praise your pup for desired behavior and express disapproval when he does something you want to discourage．
You will want your dog to learn to respond to the commands “Come”, “Sit”, and “Stay”．Again, consistency and praise will help you achieve this goal．Each time the dog responds as you wish, praise him．Whenever he ignores your command, make him do what you commanded and then praise him．
Negative behavior must be attended to also．You can discipline most dogs without hitting them．Since they are usually anxious to please, most dogs are duty punished by cruel words and tone of voice．Remember to be consistent so your dog knows unquestioningly what is acceptable behavior．
Although the first stages of dog training require great deal of time and patience, the reward of a socialized and obedient dog is well worth the effort．
