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. 

Ang tubig ay isang inumin na kailangan natin araw-araw. Ito ay malinaw at walang lasa. Ngunit ang tubig ay napakahalaga para sa ating mga katawan upang gumana nang maayos. Uminom tayo ng tubig upang mapawi ang ating uhaw at upang mapanatili tayong malusog.

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. 

Ang mga tao ay umiinom ng tubig mula pa noong sinaunang panahon. Noong unang panahon, umiinom sila ng tubig mula sa mga ilog at balon. Alam nilang mabuti ang tubig para sa kanila, kahit na hindi nila naiintindihan kung bakit.

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. 

Sa panahon ngayon, makakakuha tayo ng tubig mula sa maraming lugar. Maaari nating inumin ito mula sa gripo sa ating mga tahanan, o maaari tayong bumili ng mga bote ng tubig mula sa mga tindahan. Ang ilang mga tao ay nagdaragdag ng mga lasa sa kanilang tubig, tulad ng lemon o strawberry, upang gawing mas masarap ang lasa nito.

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. 

Ang pag-inom ng tubig ay may maraming benepisyo. Tumutulong ito sa atin na manatiling hydrated, na nangangahulugang pinipigilan nito ang ating mga katawan na maging masyadong tuyo. Kapag tayo ay hydrated, mas maganda ang pakiramdam natin at mayroon tayong mas maraming enerhiya. Ang tubig ay tumutulong din sa ating mga katawan na alisin ang mga basura at lason.

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. 

Minsan, umiinom tayo ng ibang bagay sa halip na tubig, tulad ng juice o soda. Maaaring masarap ang mga inuming ito, ngunit madalas silang may maraming asukal at iba pang bagay na hindi mabuti para sa atin. Ang tubig ang pinakamalusog na pagpipilian dahil wala itong asukal o calories.

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. 

Mahalaga na uminom ng sapat na tubig araw-araw. Sinasabi ng mga doktor na dapat tayong uminom ng mga 8 basong tubig, ngunit maaaring iba ito para sa bawat isa. Dapat nating pakinggan ang ating katawan at uminom kapag nauuhaw tayo.

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

**Nakakatuwang katotohanan**: Alam mo ba na ang tubig ay bumubuo ng mga 60% ng ating katawan? Iyan ay higit sa kalahati!
