9:15 p. m. , June16 I work 50 hours a week as a taxi driver, so I talk to people all day. They understand me, but I know I make a lot of mistakes. My vocabulary is strong. Grammar is my problem. For example, I don't use the past tense. I always say, "I drive him to the office this morning" instead of "I drove him to the office this morning". I'm trying to change, I've found some websites for learning English grammar. I hope they will be useful George

9:20 p. m. , June 16 I'm teaching myself English, and I'm good at grammar. However, it's really difficult for me to find chances to speak English. I live in an area where everyone speaks my language: Spanish. Can you give me some advice? Laura

9:25 p. m. , June 16 I understand the grammar and the reading materials in my class and my writing is good. But I'm very nervous when I speak English. I don't want to make any mistakes because people will think that I'm stupid. Also, my pronunciation isn't good. When I speak , people often say, "What? Say that again. " Karen

22．Zhang dingyu, the director of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, leads over 600 doctors and nurses fighting against the Novel coronavirus pneumonia(新型冠状病毒肺炎), which has caused hundreds of deaths in central China's Hubei Province.
As Zhang led over 600 doctors and nurses fighting the disease, his strange way of walking shocked his colleagues. He finally admitted that he had fallen ill with ALS (渐冻症) since October 2018 after constant researches. ALS is a disease that gradually blocks the connection between brain and body. People with ALS become partially paralyzed (瘫痪的)leading to respiratory (呼吸系统的) failure.
While working with handicapped (瘸的)legs, his wife was confirmed to get infected with the virus after working in another hospital. The bad news brought him to his knees, and he cried for the first time after the virus broke out. Zhang could only find time to visit his wife until three days after she got admitted to the hospital. Even then he could only stay for 30 minutes. Fortunately, the good news came that his wife had recovered ten days after treatment.
Zhang, 57, has offered medical services along with Chinese medical teams to Algeria and Pakistan. Three days after the earthquake hit central Sichuan Province in 2008, Zhang entered the city with his medical team members to offer help.
"Life is always short. I need to do more to finish the things that I might leave behind, then I would leave without too many regrets, " Zhang said. "We are at the center of a storm, so we need to give all we have to protect our city, and our Wuhan people, " Zhang said.

23．Faster fifth generation
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 30, Shanghai vice－mayor((副市长) Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X smartphone, 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. When the car "sees" an obstacle (障碍物), it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions.
However, it takes time to send and receive this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time. With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer, according to CNN. 5G could also be used to power the Internet of thing (IoT, 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 (自动地) place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside. Who is building the network?
China is racing to build a nationwide 5G network. China's biggest telecom (电信) companies－China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom－are working on test runs of 5G systems in 17 cities across the country. China is set to become the world's largest 5G market, with 460 million users by 2025, China Daily reported.
