A company has launched six satellites in a multi-billion-dollar project to make low-cost Internet accessible to every corner of Earth. The company, OneWeb, launched the satellites on board a Soyuz rocket. OneWeb is planning a network of 900 satellites and will send more satellites into space at the end of this year. It will launch several rockets every month, each carrying 39 satellites. Only 648 satellites can provide global Internet coverage.

OneWeb’s CEO said the network would greatly change the lives of millions of people. He said: “We’re going to connect lots of people who are not currently connected.” His company will focus on connecting schools, boats, planes, and “huge swathes of the planet”. Not everyone is happy. China is testing jammers to block the network. North Korea and Russia might fear the network could gather intelligence and damage national security.

Few days ago, I met my high school teacher with my friend. My friend had booked the restaurant in advance before we arrived. We haven’t seen teacher since last time about 2 years. We ordered suancai fishes and some local foods. Teacher was so surprised when I told her I was looking for a job because the last job is good and stable in her mind. My friend and I went shopping and ate dessert after lunch. She is one of the best friend when I was a student. When she told me something about her married life, I was signed with feeling that we were not younger anymore. She complained to me about her mother-in- low. I thought almost women don’t like her husband’smother because mothers were too focus on them.

Few days ago, I met my high school teacher with my friend. My friend had booked the restaurant in advance before we arrived. We haven’t seen the teacher for 2 years. We ordered suancai fishes and some local foods. The teacher was so surprised when I told her I was looking for a job because she thought the last job was good and stable. My friend and I went shopping and ate dessert after lunch. She was one of my best friends when I was a student. When she told me something about her marriage, I was overwhelmed with the feeling that we are not young anymore. She complained to me about her mother-in- law. I believe women don’t like their husband’s mother because they are always too focused on them/ they pamper/spoil their son too much.
