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 😉
それでは英字新聞 読解スタートです！

CVSはCVS Pharmacyのことです。
・Cardi B took a late night trip with her driver to CVS on the corner of Beverly Blvd and La Cienega Blvd in Hollywood
・The rapper was photographed at the drugstore wearing a black silky negligee and pink fluffy slippers with her hair wrapped last month
・The 26-year-old Bronx native picked up some makeup remover, anti-aging cream, and an iPhone charger, a witness told DailyMail.com
・Although she was dressed down Cardi ‘was obviously noticeable because she was wearing slippers and a short dress,’ said Jeidi Diakite, 38

The 26-year-old star appeared to have come straight from bed, as she donned a slinky velvet chemise and slippers and had hair wrap which held back her locks.
locksは髪のことです。
Cardi, who welcomed her daughter Kulture Kiari in July, browsed the store’s makeup aisle, picking up an anti-aging cream, according to a source.

To nab (verb)
Cambridge Dictionaryによると ” to take something suddenly, or to catch or arrest a criminal: “というふうに記載されていますね。
例文：

The star was accompanied by her driver during her early morning shop on October 7, according to student Jeidi Diakite, 38, who snapped the images of Cardi.
Jeidi said: ‘She went to the makeup aisle and picked up some anti-aging cream and makeup remover.
‘She seemed to come in to buy a charger for her phone and asked her driver to go and get it.
‘She went and was browsing the perfume section and then went to stand in line at the checkout.
‘She was kind of scratching her head under her hair wrap. I don’t know maybe she has dandruff or something.

‘She seemed really humble and quiet. She seemed like a pleasant person and was really respectful to the staff.
‘She didn’t seem like a typical celebrity at all.’
After shopping for 20 minutes, Cardi left the store in an SUV which was waiting for her outside.
上二つのseemの使い方を見るとわかると思うのですが、形容詞の前はseemだけで、名詞の前にはlikeが入り、seem like になります。
ring up (phrasal verb)
Macmillan Dictionaryによると ” to record an amount of money by pressing buttons on a cash register “というふうに記載されていますね。
例文：
She rang up our purchases quickly and we left.
I’m sorry, I rang up the wrong amount.
最後に、内容が理解でき、新しい単語も知ることができたら、必ずCambridge Dictionaryか、Macmillan Dictionaryで例文を読むようにしてください。そして一番シンプルで、自分が日常使いしときやすそうなもをノートやスマホに書き溜めておいてください。そしてこれを移動中の時などに声に出して覚えることが本当に大事です！（電車では難しいので、僕はよく歩きますw）
これをしないと全然伸びていきません！
