Very Heavy Woman – level 2

20-02-2017 07:00

People believe that a 500-kilogram 36-year-old Egyptian woman is the heaviest woman in the world.

She needed to go to India to undergo a drastic weight reduction surgery, but her journey to India was difficult. She could not get a visa at first because she could not go in person to get it. To get from the Indian airport to hospital, a truck with a bed moved her, and then a crane lifted the bed to a window.

Difficult words: undergo (if you undergo something, it is done to you), drastic (extreme or sudden), weight reduction surgery (when doctors take fat out of your body to make you lose weight quickly).

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