Here she picks her top reads. Matilda Roald Dahl I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahls writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matildas battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull，are equally fumy and frightening, but theyre also aspirational. After Dark Haruki Murakami Its about two sisters Eri, a model who either wont or cant stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student.

B You can use me as a last resort （选择） , and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it. This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse（长曲棍球）club. I guess that theres probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings.
