Scratch languagePeople use scratch because they can create interactive stories ,games ,animation
 In the simplest terms, the Scratch language is a free programming language where you move blocks (also called bubbles) into a set order, then configure some of the blocks to create interactive stories, games, and animations.
  The event-driven language is fairly easy for anyone to learn, regardless of age. Scratch rewards tweaking and playing, either from a blank slate or by modifying existing code. The language also has been adapted into new languages and inspired other languages.
 Started in 2007, Scratch is a project of the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. Since the project started, 3.6 million people have signed up on their website and over 6 million Scratch projects have been shared with other members of the community. Scratch also includes a very active community of teachers, as well as support for parents helping kids learn the language.


What makes scratch special?
While the Scratch language is fairly easy to use, fun, and addictive, the language is special for two main reasons, its community and how Scratch encourages kids to learn then take risks to adapt what they’ve done. While not everyone wants to be a programmer, everyone benefits from projects that teach creative problem solving. The ability to imagine, create, play, and reflect are critical skills regardless of your age. The language hides the difficult parts of programming (different languages have different syntax, for example) while exposing details that lets people configure actions. It’s much easier to touch a block then type in the number of seconds to perform an action than type the same action in Python or JavaScript. Dragging the blocks into order also is fairly easy for anyone to understand.
The use of configurable blocks instead of traditional code makes it easier for people think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively as they create their projects.
The community is the other half of Scratch. Their website makes it easy to share projects, as well as find projects other people have completed. The community provides support online. And the community extends offline in numerous classrooms, hackathons, and local groups that use Scratch to teach programming.
ScratchEd, the community for teachers, also is a very active place to share stories, share resources, ask questions, and find people to help.
Both the Scratch online community and ScratchEd are great resources for parents who want to work with their kids to learn the language. The Scratch team also has a web page for parents with lots of links.
Finally, Scratch is available in 40 languages and used in 150 countries.

How to take care of a cat

How to take care of Cats

Have you ever wanted a cat,Well This should be persuasive enough for you to
get one.To look after a Cat you must feed it,give it attention and exercise it.

Paragraph 1

Cats always need feeding

So if you buy a cat you need to learn how to feed it properly, daily (Morning,lunchtime,
Night).You need to feed it so it can stay alive.When you have a cat you need to buy cat
food so they don't starve all day long.Your cats will starve and bring home mice or rats if
you don't feed them.You also need to give them water so that they don't get dehydrated
all day long.Cats usually eat cat biscuits instead of meat you would give to a dog.They
need to eat to stay healthy.Cats can last up to 2 weeks without eating but you shouldn't try it.

Paragraph 2

Caring for them

Cats need to be patted or they will get rusty and run away.Also if you care for them
they wont run away and they will adore you.One other thing is if you buy the harness to
walk a cat,you will be able to take your cats for walks to the park to make them comfortable
in your neighbourhood.It is also easier cause then if you let them out all day they won't run
away and they will know where to come back.You might also need to buy equipment for it to
play with to keep the cat relaxed.

Paragraph 3

Exercise it

One basic fact is to exercise it,like teaching them not to wreck the couches or taking them
for walks.What cats usually do is go toilet inside the house so when you feed them you should
let them go outside to go toilet.It helps from having to clean up their messes.But if you take them
for walks they can hang around the park while your at school/work.Instead of them running away.
That's why you should always train them before you let them free.

These are just some basic facts you should know if you get a cat.
