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. 

L'eau est une boisson dont nous avons besoin tous les jours. Elle est claire et n'a pas de goût. Mais l'eau est super importante pour que notre corps fonctionne bien. Nous buvons de l'eau pour étancher notre soif et pour rester en bonne santé.

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. 

Les gens boivent de l'eau depuis l'Antiquité. Autrefois, ils buvaient de l'eau des rivières et des puits. Ils savaient que l'eau était bonne pour eux, même s'ils ne comprenaient pas pourquoi.

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. 

De nos jours, nous pouvons obtenir de l'eau à partir de nombreux endroits. Nous pouvons la boire directement au robinet dans nos maisons, ou nous pouvons acheter des bouteilles d'eau dans les magasins. Certaines personnes ajoutent des saveurs à leur eau, comme du citron ou de la fraise, pour en améliorer le goût.

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. 

Boire de l'eau a de nombreux avantages. Cela nous aide à rester hydratés, ce qui signifie que cela empêche notre corps de devenir trop sec. Lorsque nous sommes hydratés, nous nous sentons mieux et avons plus d'énergie. L'eau aide également notre corps à se débarrasser des déchets et des toxines.

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. 

Parfois, nous buvons d'autres choses à la place de l'eau, comme du jus ou du soda. Ces boissons peuvent être savoureuses, mais elles contiennent souvent beaucoup de sucre et d'autres éléments qui ne sont pas bons pour nous. L'eau est le choix le plus sain car elle ne contient ni sucre ni 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. 

Il est important de boire suffisamment d'eau chaque jour. Les médecins disent que nous devrions boire environ 8 tasses d'eau, mais cela peut être différent pour chacun. Nous devons écouter notre corps et boire lorsque nous avons soif.

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

**Fait amusant**: Saviez-vous que l'eau représente environ 60% de notre corps? C'est plus de la moitié!
