何回も言いますが、新聞を読むためには各々の単語が名詞（noun）なのか、形容詞（adjective）なのか、副詞（adverb）なのかがめちゃくちゃ大事になってきます！文法はほんっっっっっっとうに大事です！！！一緒に一つずつやっていきましょう！僕の勉強がわりにもなっているので、僕が知っていることは飛ばしていたりします。なので、何かわからないことがあれば気軽にコメントください。できるだけ答えます！よろしくお願いします 😉

まずはざっと読んでみてください。
難易度は★★☆☆☆です！

It’s unclear if the star was working on a third collaboration with H&M at the time of the announcement.
After photos of the children’s top took the internet by storm, customers took to Twitter to question whether H&M were being ‘casually racist,’ pointing out that ‘monkey’ has long been used as a racial slur.
Even those who doubted the brand was being racist admitted there should have been more awareness of how the image could be perceived.

Referring to the green top, Kate Osamor, a member of British Parliament, tweeted: ‘I was totally shocked, dismayed to say the very least to find this online imagine. @hm do you think this imagery is an appropriate representation of a young black boy?’
Other Twitter users were also quick to weigh in on the debate.
One wrote: ‘Is this part of a publicity stunt? Do some brands want to be dragged on twitter in order to gain more visibility?’
Another added: ‘Wow. I mean, put it on a child of literally ANY other race. How did NO ONE consider this is inappropriate? Not the photographer, stylist, creative director, editor… I truly wonder if anyone raised a concern that was ignored or they are all just stupid.’
Some people pointed out there appeared to be no racial undertones but asked whether there had been a significant ‘oversight’ in the advertising campaign.
One Twitter user wrote: ‘Do you know that they’re not calling him a monkey? It’s just a jumper with the name ‘monkey’ on it, you’re making it racist.’
