Poziomy europejskie

European levels:

The levels of language command are classified by the Common European Framework which is an internationally recognised classification of exams and levels accepted by the Council of Europe. The system thoroughly defines the range of language skills which must be mastered by the learners of a language to be able to communicate in it, and to ensure that the communication is set properly in any given sociolinguistic context.

The levels classified by the system:

C2 Mastery
C1 EOP - Effective Operational Proficiency
B2 Vantage
B1 Threshold

A new face

American doctors are ready to carry out face transplants. One team of doctors has asked for official approval so they can perform the operation. But many people are worried about the consequences of face transplants. They fear that the person who receives the transplant will look like the dead person. 

Recent research shows that the receiver won’t look like the dead person. Scientists carried out virtual surgery and it showed that the receiver of a face transplant will have a distinct identity. More research into the consequences of this surgery is necessary. 

Doctors say that it is easier to do a face transplant than to replace someone’s finger. The operation offers new hope for people who have suffered serious burns. There are already a number of people who want to have the operation.
