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 😉

Back in November Culture Minister Margot James said she hoped legislation would be in Parliament before the end of the year (2018) but that websites would need time to ‘get up to speed‘ after.
She told the Science and Technology Committee’s inquiry on November 13, that the impact of social media had taken longer than hoped but ‘we have got it right’.

Ms. James said: ‘We can expect it to be in force by Easter of next year and I make that timetable through the knowledge we have laid the necessary secondary legislation before parliament.
‘I am hopeful of getting a slot to debate it before the end of the year. We have always said that we will permit the industry three months of getting up to speed with the practicalities and delivering the age verification that they will be required by law to deliver.
‘We have also had to establish with the British Board for Film Classification, which has become the regulator, and they have had to consult on the methods of age verification.
‘So it has taken longer than I would have liked but I would balance by a confidence that we have got it right.’

Ms James also said a deadline to speed up the removal of harmful content on social media is among the legislative measures being considered by the government in a bid to protect young people.
It compels social networking sites to remove illegal content within 24 hours of it being reported, or face fines.
When asked by Labour MP Liz Kendall whether the government was considering such a move, Ms James responded: ‘Yes, I mean that would be one of the aspects of what may require new law as opposed to the many non-legislative measures that we’re still developing.‘
The minister warned there are some grey areas of what is deemed illegal content and what is not, which it is expected to be addressed in a white paper this winter.
