The Amazon, the Biggest River

The Amazon is a great river in South America. It is the biggest river in the world by the amount of water. It carries more water than many other large rivers all together.

Ang Amazon ay isang malaking ilog sa South America. Ito ang pinakamalaking ilog sa mundo batay sa dami ng tubig. Mas marami itong dalang tubig kaysa sa maraming ibang malalaking ilog na pinagsama.

The river starts high in the mountains and flows to the sea. On the way, it passes through nine countries. Around the river there is a huge green forest, full of trees, birds, fish, and many other animals.

Nagsisimula ang ilog sa mataas na bundok at dumadaloy patungo sa dagat. Sa daan, dumadaan ito sa siyam na bansa. Sa paligid ng ilog ay may malaking berdeng gubat, puno ng puno, ibon, isda, at maraming ibang hayop.

The Amazon is very important for our planet. The big forest gives clean air to the world and is home to millions of plants and animals. Many people also live near the river. They use its water every day to drink, to cook, and to travel by boat.

Napakahalaga ng Amazon para sa ating planeta. Ang malaking gubat ay nagbibigay ng malinis na hangin sa mundo at tahanan ito ng milyun-milyong halaman at hayop. Maraming tao rin ang nakatira malapit sa ilog. Ginagamit nila ang tubig nito araw-araw para uminom, magluto, at maglakbay sakay ng bangka.
