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 😉

Parents FORGET newborn baby in taxi on first trip home from hospital
The couple were returning from their hospital stay with their newborn and one-year-old, when they paid the taxi driver and said goodbye – forgetting about the sleeping baby
Parents forgot to take their newborn baby from a taxi they used to bring him home from hospital for the very first time.
The German couple were returning from their hospital stay with their newborn and one-year-old.
But, after pulling up outside their Hamburg home, the couple left the car with just their eldest child – leaving their sleeping baby in the back seat.
Hamburg Police said in a Facebook post the couple paid the driver and said goodbye before realising their horrifying mistake.
The father reportedly desperately chased after the cab, but it was too late and it went out of sight.
pull up (phrasal verb)
Macmillan Dictionary によると ” if a vehicle or driver pulls up, they stop “という風に記載されていますね。
例文：
Their taxi pulled up outside the church.
A car pulled up outside my house.
The boat pulled up at the dock.
I was at the gas station, and he pulled up next to me.
The driver then continued to pick up fares, with the baby sleeping soundly in the back of his vehicle.
Police reports even revealed how the driver went for lunch and parked his car in an underground car park – unknowingly leaving the newborn alone in the car.
Reports said: “Since the baby initially made no sound and probably enjoyed the sleep, the taxi driver knew nothing of his silent passenger in the back seat and headed directly to a well-deserved lunch break, for which he parked the taxi in an underground car park.
“After some time, he returned hopefully well-fed, sat in his taxi and went in the hope of new passengers to the airport.
fare (noun)
Macmillan Dictionary によると ” a passenger in a taxi “という風に記載されていますね。
well-fed (adjective)
Cambridge Dictionaryによると ” having a lot to eat: “という風に記載されていますね。
例文：
We were finally well rested and well fed.
“However, the new passenger was a bit confused about the already present infant and made the taxi driver aware of this “carpool”.
“Now was the time when the baby obviously woke up and began to scream.”
The driver immediately called police who collected the baby and arranged for a check-up from paramedics.
Thankfully, the baby was unharmed and reunited with its parents the same day.
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！
