It is a very high level discussion, but from now on I would like to review the article here on the blog and add a list of key vocabulary to help those who want to have a go.
Last week's article was entitled "Long before the rod was spared" and can be found here:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/8047541.stm
It is an article about child cruelty （児童虐待） and the history of the U.K.'s biggest child protection charity, the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children （NSPCC、国家児童虐待防止協会）, which was formed 125 years ago.
Here are some key words and phrases from the article to help with your reading:
