India’s first hand transplant – level 1

09-02-2015 15:00

This news is about a man. His name is Manu. He is from India. Manu has an accident. He loses his hands.

Another man has an accident, too. He dies, but his hands are OK. Doctors take these hands. They transplant them onto Manu. Manu is very happy. He can do regular activities again.

This is India’s first hand transplant. It is a great achievement.

Difficult words: transplant (to take a part of somebody’s body and give it to somebody else), regular (normal), achievement (something which you do well).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

Did you see the video? The man looks more shocked than happy, doesn't he?
