主题语境:人与社会　体裁:记叙文

J.K.Rowling frequently shows there is magic every day.Her Harry Potter series has helped people through times of stress and depression and she is always there to deliver wise words of encouragement.

She is one celebrity who is very active on Twitter.So when a single dad named Matt Burke sent her a message thanking her for the series,she noticed.Her series had helped strengthen his relationship with his 9-year-old daughter Bailey.

He included a link to his article titled BeingaBrokeParent.He explained how he hadn’t found a level of financial stability that allowed him to pay bills on time and take his daughter on more activities and events.The family also doesn’t have the Internet or TV,which means there’s no “digital babysitter”and he has to rely on his own creative ways to bond with his daughter.Since he received the series,the main thing that has occupied them these days is reading books together.

Burke admits that he thought he was “too cool” for the books when they first came out and he was in his twenties,but he’s loving reading them now.“We switch off chapter by chapter reading them out loud,” Burke explains.“This not only allows her to get more used to reading aloud in front of someone,but it gets me directly involved in something she loves,and it gives me the chance to be very dramatic when I read my chapters and bring myself into the characters in the book,which has proven to be a ton of fun.”

After hearing Burke’s story,Rowling said how honored she was when HarryPotter was a part of his family’s life and offered Burke more books.Besides,people are also offering to send Burke more books as gifts.For Burke,this experience,far more than gifts,will be what he treasures.

When Rebecca Saxon was diagnosed with cancer at the young age of 27,she thought her life was over.But in her darkest hour,inspiration struck and she found a way of turning her misfortune into advantage.

Following her cancer treatment,Rebecca launched a successful business “Something Blue Bridal Shoes”—a unique range of wedding footwear,which came out of the fashion pictures she drew while recovering in her hospital bed.

Rebecca,from London,says,“I started designing wedding shoes with blue soles (鞋底)when I was halfway through my cancer treatment.I had a hit when I was diagnosed with cancer but I decided that I was going to pick myself up and fight this cancer.The pictures were my release and the way I got through the many hours spent in a hospital room.I had no idea what was going to happen to me,but I knew I had to be positive if I was going to overcome this treatment.I told myself this was not going to be the end for me.I decided to fight with my negative feelings and start drawing.”

Rebecca had always loved fashion since she was younger.Several of her friends were getting married at the time when she was ill.“So at first,I would be drawing designs for wedding dresses and other clothes.But then I started drawing wedding footwear—designing shoes with blue soles which were very comfortable too.I thought it would be a lovely way of combining the ‘something old,something new,something borrowed,something blue’ tradition.Drawing really helped me deal with my treatment,” said the brave girl.

With the encouragement of her boyfriend,she turned her dreams into reality and set up “Something Blue Bridal Shoes”.Each beautiful shoe has a blue sole,combining the age-old tradition of what a bride should wear at her wedding for good luck.
