If you look at the top of your phone， you' ll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G The "G" stands for the " generation"（代） of your mobile network． But the symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive．

On March 30， Shanghai vice﹣mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X Smartphone．Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks．

About 100 times faster than 4G networks， 5G will let people download and upload data（数据） faster than ever before． But 5G won't just bring faster mobile internet． People can use it for many other things well．

While I was in bed that evening， my husband said to me， "Dealing with a stranger， you were polite， but with a daughter you love， you were unkind． Your daughter brought you some flowers that she picked herself this afternoon． You'll find them in the kitchen by the door． Have you seen the tears in her eyes？"
