Operation Changes Her Life – level 1

03-04-2017 07:00

Doctors in the US do an operation. It changes the life of a baby. The baby’s name is Dominique.

She is born with four legs and other parts of a body. They are parts of a twin. The twin is on her back. There are legs and feet. They move. This is very dangerous for the baby.

Doctors work very hard. The operation is very difficult. It is successful in the end. The baby has a new life. She can live a full and normal life now.

Dominique leaves the hospital five days after the operation. She lives in an American family. They are not her parents. They look after her.

Difficult words: twin (a brother or a sister that is born on the same day), dangerous (with a lot of risk), difficult (not easy), successful (very good).

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