Man has a special operation – level 1

16-06-2015 15:00

This news is about a young man. He is from South Africa. When he’s 18, he is circumcised. Something goes wrong and his penis is only 1 centimetre long.

The man has a penis transplant. This is quite special. This is the first penis transplant in the world. The operation takes 9 hours.

Everything goes fine. The man is happy with his new penis. He does not have any problems. In fact, he is going to be a dad. His girlfriend is pregnant.

Difficult words: circumcise (to cut off a small part of the end of the penis), penis transplant (when doctors put the penis of a dead man onto another man’s body), pregnant (when you have a baby inside).

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