However, he wasn’t sure how he could test whether his schoolmates were real friends or not, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need. It’s in my room.

These annoying things will soon become a thing of the ________, as China just issued commercial licenses (发放商用牌照) for 5G networks on June 6, 2019. This means that China’s telecommunications (电信) companies will be able to offer 5G network speeds for mobile phone users.
