A Man without Arms and Legs

22-01-2021 15:00

Youssef Abu Amira comes from Gaza, Palestine. Youssef is born without legs. His arms are not complete. This does not stop Youssef.

Youssef finishes university. Now, he is starting a new hobby. He does karate. Karate is a Japanese sport. It is a type of fighting. You hit and kick another person.

Youssef is good at karate. He can hit another person very hard. Youssef’s dream is to do karate with people from all over the world.

He says that it is important to have dreams. He says that people can do anything if they really want to. Nothing can stop them.

Difficult words: complete (when something has all of the parts), kick (to hit somebody with a leg), dream (something that you would like to do or have and you think about it a lot).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
