On a foggy Monday morning in May 2016,Amsterdam officials,engineers and civil servants gathered nervously at Alexanderplein --- a busy crossroads near the city centre with three streetcar lines --- where many people were walking,driving,and,as in any Dutch city,riding bicycles.All of a sudden,the traffic controls were shut off for all transport modes,in all directions.
    This live pilot project is part of a larger mobility strategy across the city to make more room for cyclists and pedestrians.That means limiting access and space for private vehicles. "Amsterdam's public space is limited," says the vice mayor for traffic,Pieter Litjens,who finally approved the pilot. "We need to be thoughtful and strategic about who and what uses that space."
    In the weeks before the lights were shut off,200 cyclists were interviewed in the morning and evening.A majority of them disliked the crossroads and made complaints.When asked whether the traffic lights were necessary,about a third said "absolutely yes," only 5% said absolutely not,and the majority was uncertain.It was clearly a question they had never thought about.
    When the lights were turned off,about 150 cyclists were interviewed.We found that not only did fewer people dislike this crossroads,but about 60% said the traffic situation had improved.
    All interviewees spoke more about human interaction. "People pay more attention," said one man. "It's amazing that it regulates itself," said a young woman. "It's a bit scary,but you never have to stop and nobody is grumpy," said a teenager.But no one could really further explain why or how.
    Behaviour was noticeably different.Most cyclists slowed down as they approached the crossroads,and communicated to other cyclists and motorists using eyes,gestures,expressions and voices.In one incident,a mother carrying her child on a front seat slowly entered the crossroads.When she was halfway across,a car approached from the right.Traffic signs indicate priority for the car driver,but instead,the mother made eye contact with the driver,both smiled,and the car driver yielded.

    I know that the library is a wonderful thing but something we really should take advantage of. I go to the library near my home at least twice of a week in the past. However, because of my extreme busy schedule, it has been more than two year since my last library visit. How I miss the days I spent in the library read the books I loved! As you know, there is no friend so faithfully as a good book. I do enjoy the quiet atmosphere in the library, which makes me absorbing in my reading. This is time that I went to the library. If you fond of reading, be a frequent visitor to the library.

        It's been two years when I joined the campus radio station. During this time, I had done several interviews. Every time I finish to writing an article, I am proud of myself for able to introduce my schoolmates to the things I've seen. It was difficult at times, but when I saw my stories publish in our school newspaper, you knew that it was something worth doing. My parents, teachers and schoolmates congratulated me on that I did. I felt happily when I shared a new story with them. The greatest thing about being the reporter is being able to share your thought with others.
