英字新聞を読む時のアドバイスがあります。タイトルのCanada offers…（現在形）は過去に起こったことを表しています。Canada to offer ….という記事だったなら、これから起こる事（未来形）になるんですよ。これを知っているとニュースのヘッドラインを読むときに楽です。それから、興味のある内容のもの、短い記事を選ぶ事もポイントです。

Canada offers free study placements for youth affected by March 11th disaster

The Embassy of Canada has announced that 150 young people (ages 15 through 30) affected by the March 11th disaster will receive round-trip air transportation, one-month of language training, accommodation in a home or dormitory, and traveller's insurance – all free of charge. The initiative has been made possible by Samantha Thavasa Japan Limited, in-kind contributions from Languages Canada (an accredited association of language schools), and the cooperation of Air Canada.

Applications are already being accepted and travel to Canada will commence in October this year.
