Most people may think that people who write computer code (代碼) must be good at Maths and logical (邏輯的) thinking. However, people who write computer code say that creativity is also important for writting code.

Software developers (開發(fā)者) in the USA have created a game called Osmo Coding Jam. The game is designed to help children use the creative side of their minds when learning to code. Children can play the game on iPads.

Tanya Dodge is the mother of two children who play the game. According to her, these activities give her children important skills for the future. “It’s an analytical (分析的) skill,” said Dodge.

But the developers believe writing code is not just an analytical skill. “We want to explore the creative side of coding that I think is often not as explored,” said Felix Hu, an Osmo engineer. Hu added, “The coolest part is that we’re teaching kids how to be creative with code and that’s a really important thing that kids should get comfortable with because coding is creative.”

Hu also sees many parents who feel that software code is a second language that children need to learn to succeed in future jobs. Tanya Dodge agrees. She said, “l(fā) think you’re going to have to understand the idea of coding will work well in the future.” Hu also explains that very often kids grow up not understanding how a computer works. He says by breaking it down to a lower level, kids can understand that the computer isn’t as smart as they think it is.

Friendship can’t be measured （測量） nor can it be weighed. We stopped a few people on the street to find out what part friendship played in their lives. Here is what they said.

My best friend Mark and I really enjoy spending time playing basketball every evening. Even over 10 years after college, we still get the same amount of joy when playing basketball together.—James, 34

(Are we all learning something from Tom’s lesson in life?)

We all should wake up and realize the true importance of friendship because friends accept you for what you are, not for what you can be. —Jane, 21
