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. 

Вода — это напиток, который нам нужен каждый день. Она прозрачная и без вкуса. Но вода очень важна для правильной работы нашего организма. Мы пьем воду, чтобы утолить жажду и оставаться здоровыми.

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. 

Люди пили воду с древних времен. В старину они пили воду из рек и колодцев. Они знали, что вода полезна для них, хотя и не понимали почему.

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. 

В наши дни мы можем получать воду из многих мест. Мы можем пить её из крана в наших домах или покупать бутылки с водой в магазинах. Некоторые люди добавляют в воду ароматизаторы, такие как лимон или клубника, чтобы улучшить её вкус.

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. 

Питьевая вода имеет много преимуществ. Она помогает нам оставаться гидратированными, что означает, что она предотвращает обезвоживание нашего организма. Когда мы гидратированы, мы чувствуем себя лучше и имеем больше энергии. Вода также помогает нашему организму избавляться от отходов и токсинов.

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. 

Иногда мы пьём что-то другое вместо воды, например, сок или газировку. Эти напитки могут быть вкусными, но часто содержат много сахара и других веществ, которые не полезны для нас. Вода — самый здоровый выбор, потому что в ней нет сахара или калорий.

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. 

Важно пить достаточное количество воды каждый день. Врачи говорят, что мы должны выпивать около 8 стаканов воды, но это может быть разным для каждого. Мы должны прислушиваться к своему телу и пить, когда испытываем жажду.

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

**Интересный факт**: Знаете ли вы, что вода составляет около 60% нашего тела? Это больше половины!
