3 . Wild beavers (河狸) are back! Experts say that the wild beaver families are doing well. The beavers are even boosting wildlife and the environment!

Over ten years ago, a family of beavers turned up in a part of the river Otter, in Devon. No one knew exactly where they came from. It was a big surprise wild beavers hadn’t lived in England for around 400 years!

In 2015, the government allowed the beavers to stay there as part of a test. They wanted to see if these animals could be reintroduced to the wild. The test ends in February. Some scientists from the University of Exeter already say the beavers help the wildlife in the area. One scientist called it “an amazing story”.

A lot of this is because of dams (水坝). Beavers build dams along the river. This creates deep pools in the riverbed and slows the water down. Scientists say this is perfect for many different types of plants and animals! Many plants are growing near the beavers. Different types of animals are also becoming more and more in the river. Beavers also help make flooding less, scientists say. The beavers’ dams slow down the speed of the river, especially after heavy rain.

Beavers aren’t the only animals that are being reintroduced to the wild! In 2019, red squirrels were brought back to an area of the Scottish Highlands. Further away, the world's rarest (罕见的) duck, the Madagascar pochard, is making a comeback. It was set free into the wild on the African island in 2019 and is doing well.

6 . One of the most important keys is making sure that kids are getting the message you're trying to send. When you communicate with kids, sometimes the way instructions (指令) are given can be just as important as what you're trying to communicate.     1    

Be direct. Make statements rather than asking questions. “Please turn right,” as opposed to “Are you ready to get out your homework?”

    2     Give instructions when you are near the child, rather than calling out from across the room.

Use clear and specific commands (命令). Instead of “Go ahead,” say, “Please turn right at the second crossing. ”

Give instructions one at a time.     3     “Please put on your coat, get your lunch off the kitchen counter, and meet me in the front door.”

Keep explanations easy. Giving a rationale (根本原因) can increase the likelihood children will listen to a command. For example, “Go get your coat on because it's raining.    4    ” Instead, try: “It’s raining and I don’t want you to catch a cold. Go get your coat on.

Give kids time to process. After you give an instruction, wait a few seconds, without repeating what you said. They don't need to listen.     5     Watching and waiting also helps keep adults from doing what we’ve requested of our kids for them.

A．Be close.

B．Don't give them one by one.

C．I don't want you to catch a cold.

D．Do shout out as loudly as possible.

E．Try to avoid giving instructions all together.

F．This is because the instructions will be repeated.

G．Here are the practical ways to present information to the kids
