Water 
Read a short passage about how the simplest drink became essential for life and well-being. 
1.1
Water is a drink that we need every day.  It is clear and tastes like nothing.  But water is super important for our bodies to work well.  We drink water to quench our thirst and to keep us healthy. 

الماء هو مشروب نحتاجه كل يوم. إنه صافٍ وليس له طعم. لكن الماء مهم جدًا لأجسامنا لتعمل بشكل جيد. نشرب الماء ليروي عطشنا ويبقينا بصحة جيدة.

1.2
People have been drinking water since ancient times.  In the old days, they drank water from rivers and wells.  They knew water was good for them, even though they did not understand why. 

كان الناس يشربون الماء منذ العصور القديمة. في الأيام الخوالي، كانوا يشربون الماء من الأنهار والآبار. كانوا يعرفون أن الماء مفيد لهم، على الرغم من أنهم لم يفهموا السبب.

1.3
Nowadays, we can get water from many places.  We can drink it from the tap in our homes, or we can buy bottles of water from stores.  Some people add flavors to their water, like lemon or strawberry, to make it taste better. 

في الوقت الحاضر، يمكننا الحصول على الماء من العديد من الأماكن. يمكننا شربه من الصنبور في منازلنا، أو يمكننا شراء زجاجات الماء من المتاجر. بعض الناس يضيفون نكهات إلى ماءهم، مثل الليمون أو الفراولة، لجعل طعمه أفضل.

1.4
Drinking water has many benefits.  It helps us stay hydrated, which means it keeps our bodies from getting too dry.  When we are hydrated, we feel better and have more energy.  Water also helps our bodies get rid of waste and toxins. 

شرب الماء له العديد من الفوائد. فهو يساعدنا على البقاء رطبًا، مما يعني أنه يمنع أجسامنا من الجفاف الشديد. عندما نكون رطبين، نشعر بتحسن ولدينا المزيد من الطاقة. كما يساعد الماء أجسامنا على التخلص من النفايات والسموم.

1.5
Sometimes, we drink other things instead of water, like juice or soda.  These drinks can be tasty, but they often have lots of sugar and other things that are not good for us.  Water is the healthiest choice because it has no sugar or calories. 

في بعض الأحيان، نشرب أشياء أخرى بدلاً من الماء، مثل العصير أو الصودا. يمكن أن تكون هذه المشروبات لذيذة، لكنها غالبًا ما تحتوي على الكثير من السكر وأشياء أخرى ليست جيدة بالنسبة لنا. الماء هو الخيار الأكثر صحة لأنه لا يحتوي على سكر أو سعرات حرارية.

1.6
It is important to drink enough water every day.  Doctors say we should drink about 8 cups of water, but it can be different for everyone.  We should listen to our bodies and drink when we are thirsty. 

من المهم شرب كمية كافية من الماء كل يوم. يقول الأطباء أننا يجب أن نشرب حوالي 8 أكواب من الماء، ولكن يمكن أن يختلف ذلك من شخص لآخر. يجب أن نستمع إلى أجسامنا ونشرب عندما نشعر بالعطش.

1.7
Fun fact: Did you know that water makes up about 60% of our bodies?  That is more than half! 

**حقيقة ممتعة**: هل تعلم أن الماء يشكل حوالي 60٪ من أجسامنا؟ هذا أكثر من النصف!
