My name is Mary Taylor. I’m a 14-year-old girl. I want to be a pilot. I spend hours watching the planes take off from the airport. I love traveling to new places by plane and the idea of flying people around the world!

I’m not sure whether it’s the right job for me. I want to decide soon. I hope to start training early. I want to be young when I’m flying a Boeing 737 or even an A380.

I have so many questions about the job-do you get paid well? I want to make lots of money because I want to have a big family and a big house. Is it fun? Is it safer than being a doctor, a policewoman,etc.?Is it really hard? I’m a girl,so will I be discriminated against（被歧视）? If I decide to become a pilot, where and when should I start training?

My only brother also says if I want to be a pilot, I have to be really good at math, but I’m only OK at math.

Being a pilot looks like one of the coolest jobs in the world. Could you please write to me soon? Thanks so much, Mr. Lim!

Yours,

Mary Taylor

The picture suddenly freezes（卡顿） because the network speed is too slow when you're playing mobile games or making a video call. You always spend a long time downloading a movie on your phone.

Don't worry. 5G is coming! These annoying things will soon become a thing of the past because 5G network speeds will be offered to mobile phone users.

The "G" in "5G" stands for a generation of mobile network technology. 1G let us talk to each other,2G let us send messages,3G gave us mobile data and internet,and 4G made all of these things faster. So what will 5G bring?

First of all,5G is so fast that it will allow you to download an entire HD movie in seconds.The delay （延时） between sending and receiving data will be shortened.

Because of this increase in speed,it will be possible to create and use new kinds of technology. Robots will be used to do operations. Self-driving cars will be able to drive more safely because they can smoothly communicate with each other,traffic lights and road sensors（传感器）. 5G also makes loT （物联网） possible.

All in all,5G will shape every type of technology that it touches. And you won't have to wait too long for that to happen.
