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. 

Apa este o băutură de care avem nevoie în fiecare zi. Este clară și nu are gust. Dar apa este foarte importantă pentru ca corpul nostru să funcționeze bine. Bem apă pentru a ne potoli setea și pentru a rămâne sănătoși.

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. 

Oamenii beau apă din cele mai vechi timpuri. În vremurile străvechi, ei beau apă din râuri și fântâni. Știau că apa este bună pentru ei, chiar dacă nu înțelegeau de ce.

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. 

În zilele noastre, putem obține apă din multe locuri. Putem să o bem direct de la robinet în casele noastre, sau putem cumpăra sticle de apă din magazine. Unii oameni adaugă arome în apa lor, cum ar fi lămâie sau căpșună, pentru a-i îmbunătăți gustul.

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. 

A bea apă are multe beneficii. Ne ajută să rămânem hidratați, ceea ce înseamnă că ne împiedică corpul să se usuce prea mult. Când suntem hidratați, ne simțim mai bine și avem mai multă energie. Apa ajută, de asemenea, corpul nostru să scape de deșeuri și toxine.

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. 

Uneori, bem alte lucruri în loc de apă, cum ar fi suc sau sodă. Aceste băuturi pot fi gustoase, dar adesea au mult zahăr și alte lucruri care nu sunt bune pentru noi. Apa este cea mai sănătoasă alegere pentru că nu conține zahăr sau calorii.

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. 

Este important să bem suficientă apă în fiecare zi. Medicii spun că ar trebui să bem aproximativ 8 pahare de apă, dar acest lucru poate fi diferit pentru fiecare persoană. Ar trebui să ascultăm corpul nostru și să bem când suntem însetați.

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

**Fapt amuzant**: Știați că apa reprezintă aproximativ 60% din corpul nostru? Asta înseamnă mai mult de jumătate!
