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！

The cashier, who claims she never exposed her nipple, says that she was then confronted by the angry woman who asked her to cover up because her husband was struggling to stop staring at the breastfeeding session.
However, Nicolle was so annoyed at the demand that she decided to offer her own interpretation of the request – put the cloth on her face, an act which saw the enraged stranger and her husband turn on their heels and leave.

‘You could only see the side of my boob so I was like ‘okay’ and covered my face. She grabbed her husband and left. My 11-year-old daughter, Kaymaii, said she looked mad.
‘I had covered myself during ‘latch’ so my nipple was never exposed. It was the first I’ve ever had someone react like this. I just wanted to bring light to the situation.
Blackman explains that Kaymaii couldn’t understand why her mother had to cover up her breasts and even took the picture of her with the cloth over her face.
‘She wanted to tell her grandmother that I wasn’t being mean to her brother and she did. My mum said that she was proud that I stood up for what I believed in.’
Nicolle says that they sat in the corner of the restaurant to be as far away from the other customers as possible but claims the couple decided to sit right next to them despite it being almost empty.
The three-month-old child had recently undergone surgery to get his lip-tie and tongue-tie [bits of skin connecting the lips to the mouth] clipped and the mum says because of this he wouldn’t take a bottle and had to be breastfed.
Nicolle said: ‘There is nothing wrong with covering up if that’s what you choose to do. Nobody knew that my son had surgery and wouldn’t take a bottle. People are judging before they know the story.’

‘One time when I was feeding in a park a woman came up to me and said she would never have breastfed in public if she hadn’t seen me.
‘It was encouraging and it felt good that I could give someone the strength to do it.’
