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 students and staff at an elementary school have all begun learning sign language in order to welcome a deaf kindergarten student.
The Dayton Consolidated School in Maine invited a Cinderella character actor to sing as she signed in American Sign Language to honor new student Morey Belanger, age six.
Morey is the first deaf student to ever attend the school, and teachers have responded by teaching the rest of the student body sign language.
‘Morey — without even knowing it — has taught us so much,’ said school Principal Kimberly Sampietro told CNN. ‘She has brought a culture to our building that we didn’t have before.’
Teachers have posted placards around the school showing the signs for different objects, and say that most of the students have learned at least 15 or 20 words so far.
Morey herself has helped teach her own kindergarten class.
‘Morey helped all of them to learn the alphabet,’ Sampietro said. ‘The kids have just really embraced her. They look up to her, they want her around, and they want to partner with her.’
The school has also installed a hearing assistive system and implemented extra teacher training to incorporate sign language into every classroom.
Sampietro said many teachers also began using their free time to watch sign language videos and read books on special education.

At Wednesday’s princess party, Morey was thrilled when Cinderella began using sign language as she sang.
The Disney princess was played by a local high school student who hopes to some day work as an American Sign Language Interpreter in a school.
Morey, who was dressed as Belle from Beauty And The Beast, ran up to the front and helped sign along to the song.
‘I absolutely feel like it makes her feel welcomed,’ Morey’s mom Shannon Belanger told CNN.
‘I think all the kids feel excited that they know another language and I think they think it’s fun.’
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！

一緒に英語頑張りましょう！
