1 . 5G is coming. 5G is the 5th generation(代) network. It is a new network after 1 G, 2 G, 3 G and 4G. It can connect everyone and everything together. 5G networks will cover many cities in China soon. 5G means super-fast data speed. One can download a two-hour movie for fewer than 10 seconds, and it is making our lives more and more convenient.
5G will make self-driving cars possible. For safety, self-driving cars need super-fast data transmission(传输) to communicate with their nearby environment. 5G is just what makes self-driving cars achieve(达到) this. Even airplanes will become “smart” in the near future. Passengers will be able to use 5G networks in the air to connect to the Internet and can order for food and drinks.
5G will be a big help for students who take online classes. Many people live in poor areas.in the world where there are no schools. But with 5G, this will change. Students all over the world will be able to see places like the Great Wall without leaving their rooms.
It will be also easier for doctors to treat patients remotely by 5G. It means caring for patients from far away.
The facts listed above are only a part of what is 5G. With 5G, many things do not seem like dreams anymore. Now let’s welcome the coming of 5G.

When visitors to the Palace Museum feel a need to sit down for a cup of tea or find a bathroom without a long line, they soon will be able to turn to their smart phones for the information they need.
This modern solution comes thanks to an agreement signed on Friday by the museum and Huawei Co., the telecommunication giant, to build a “smart network” using 5G technology. Under the agreement, 5G Wi-Fi signals will cover the Palace Museum, China’s royal palace from 1420 to 1911.
“It’s important to always stay close to the latest technology to better serve the public,” said Shan Jixiang, former director of the Palace Museum. Shan said there is still much room for improvement in the handling of a huge number of cultural relics, such as when the priceless painting “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” is exhibited again in the future. When it was last exhibited in 2015, visitors stood in long lines until 3 am to have a look. The museum ended up preparing fast food to serve the hungry visitors. “I don’t want that scenario to happen again,” Shan said. “Our operation can be done in a more scientific way.”
The new system will also make use of the closed-cameras that are set up all over the Palace Museum to safeguard the museum’s precious relics. More than 1.86 million of them are housed at the museum, which recorded nearly 20 million visits from the public last year. “How can we make sure no single visitor who might have evil ideas threatens these treasures?” Shan said. “After adopting the internet of things, we can instantly detect any motion involving the relics to prevent such threats.”
The 5G network also will be used to improve remote meeting through webcams, which will discuss with scholars to jointly find the best answers for repair and store issues.

4 . What is 5G? It is the fifth generation of mobile network technology. In the past, 1G let us talk with each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us the Internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. What’s special about 5G?
5G networks are about 10 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds using 5G. Also, VR games will become more popular with 5G. 5G will make the VR games even more real.
5G also makes the Internet of Things(物联网) possible. Smart home is part of it. For example, your bread maker could make breakfast by itself after your alarm(闹钟) rings. And if the air in your room is too dry, a smart sprinkler(智能洒水器) could water your plants by itself when you are not at home.
So you just need to buy a new mobile phone to use 5G.

5 . On the morning of May 30th, 2019, Huawei helped the BBC use 5G to report news. It was the first time that 5G was used in the world! Actually, China just began to use 5G in June 2019. What’s the most special about 5G? 5G lets us send and receive information in a very short time. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds(毫秒) to send and receive information. But 5G will help the time down to 1 millisecond or less. The big change that 5G brings will not only make our mobile network faster, but also deeply change our lives in many ways.
First, 5G can connect with amusements. 5G is about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds by using 5G. Also, VR games will become more popular with 5G. 5G will make people feel the games even more real.
Second, 5G can connect with traffic. 5G will also make self-driving cars safer. These cars can send messages to each other. They also “talk” to traffic lights and road sensors(传感器). 5G will allow self-driving cars to have faster reaction(反应) than human drivers.
Third, 5G can connect with smart homes. 5G also makes the IOT possible. IOT is a large network that connects everything to the Internet. Smart homes are part of it. Smart homes can make the machines automatic. For example, if the sensor feels the floor becoming dirty, a smart floor cleaning robot will sweep the floor by itself. And your bread maker could start making breakfast ahead of time or before you get up.
Although not everyone can use 5G networks now, China is trying its best to let everyone use 5G as soon as possible!

9 . 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 these symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.
On March 30th, 2019, Shanghai vice-mayor（副市长）, CGTN reported. 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 faster than ever before. But 5G won’t just bring faster mobile internet. People can use it for many other things as well.
For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today’s self-driving test cars have one problem—lag（延迟）. When the car “sees” an obstacle（障碍物）, it takes time to send and receive information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don’t receive instructions in time. With 5G, making the cars safer, according to CNN.
5G could also be used to power the Internet of Things（物联网）. This refers to a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology.
The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.
