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 😉

Although it’s widely accepted that physical intimacy with a man or woman outside your relationship is considered ‘cheating’, the lines become a little more blurry when it comes to the online world.
So at what point does ‘online sex’ become ‘cheating’?
Australian sex and relationship expert, Dr Jessica O’Reilly, recently addressed the topic on her Instagram page and said the answer is different depending on the couple.

‘They may believe that it’s cheating and this rule may apply in many relationships, but it’s a faulty generalisation to assume that it applies universally. For some people cyber sex constitutes cheating. For others, it’s a part of their consensual relationship.’

Dr O’Reilly said the bottom line is that if you do something that violates your relationship agreement, then it’s ‘probably cheating’.
‘This doesn’t mean that your actions would constitute cheating in every relationship, but if you‘ve signed up for a specific version of monogamy, hopefully you feel that these boundaries work for you,’ she concluded.
‘Of course, they might change over time, so keep the conversation ongoing – whether you’re monogamous, consensually non-monogamous or monogamish.’
