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.

水は私たちが毎日必要とする飲み物です。透明で味はありません。しかし、水は私たちの体がうまく機能するために非常に重要です。私たちは喉の渇きを癒し、健康を保つために水を飲みます。

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.

人々は古代から水を飲んでいます。昔は川や井戸から水を飲んでいました。彼らはなぜか理解していなかったけれども、水が自分たちにとって良いことを知っていました。

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.

水を飲むことには多くの利点があります。それは私たちが水分を保つのを助け、体が乾きすぎるのを防ぎます。水分を保っていると、気分が良くなり、より多くのエネルギーを得られます。水はまた、体から老廃物や毒素を取り除くのを助けます。

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.

時々、私たちは水の代わりにジュースやソーダなどの他のものを飲みます。これらの飲み物はおいしいかもしれませんが、しばしばたくさんの糖分や私たちにとって良くない他のものが含まれています。水は糖分やカロリーがないので、最も健康的な選択です。
