英字新聞を読むには各単語の形式を知ることが大事！
英語を勉強し始めたばかりの段階だと、教材と違って英字新聞を読むのはかなり難しいと思います。それぞれの新聞が独自の書き方をもっていたりもするので。なので、僕が補足をつけながら、英字新聞を読むのお手伝いしようと思います。教材の文法には慣れたけど英字新聞はまだ苦手という、初級ー中級あたりの人用の解説です。
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！
読み終わったら、下の単語の解説と照らし合わせながら読んでいってみてください！よろしくです 😉

The NRA’s tweet was in response to a new article published in the Annals of Internal Medicine titled ‘Reducing Firearm Injuries and Deaths in the United States: A Position Paper From the American College of Physicians’.
In the article, the American College of Physicians provides a slew of recommendations – for doctors and lawmakers – that they believe can help combat America’s rampant gun violence.
Recommendations include training doctors in firearms injury prevention and counseling patients on the ‘risk of having firearms in the home’.
‘The medical profession has a special responsibility to speak out on prevention of firearm-related injuries and deaths, just as physicians have spoken out on other public health issues,’ the paper reads.

The American College of Physicians also states its support for ‘appropriate regulation of the purchase of legal firearms’ in America, including universal background checks, educational programs on firearms safety, and restricting firearm access to domestic violence offenders.
While the NRA’s tweet received a mountain of criticism, the organization appeared unfazed.
‘It’s just another example of gun control advocates with the help of the mainstream media blaming law-abiding gun owners for the criminal acts of deranged people and exploiting tragedy to push a gun control agenda that would not prevent these crimes,’ NRA spokeswoman Jennifer Baker told CNN.
‘The gun control policies they advocate for are already the law in California and they did not prevent tragedy,’ she added, referring to last week’s massacre at Borderline.
But Bob Doherty, the SVP of the American College of Physicians, said the responses to the NRA’s tweet showed it was clear Americans wanted something to change.
‘Judging by the thousands of replies posted to this @NRA tweet, doctors don’t agree that they “should stay in their lane” and not talk about solutions to gun violence,’ he wrote. ‘Nor does the public.’
